Terrorism & Emergency Response (HSE-305-00401)
Big changes were made after the 9/11 attacks. For example, airport security was mostly private and lacking in resources. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) did not take over airport security until after the attack.
Do you think the changes were warranted? Did we go too far? Do you think aviation security measures are too restrictive? Remember our discussion on public safety and individual freedoms. Are we giving up too much freedom to preserve public safety in terms of aviation security? If you have recently flown, describe your experience at the airport. If you have not recently flown, try to find an example of what someone else has experienced at the airport.
