Brandon Barstad Mr. Popko English IV 20 November 2014 Airport Security Airport security is a problem in the United States.

There the problem was at the time they never scanned the shoes for anything in them. Richard Reed is the one that

After six consecutive years of profitability, the U.S airline industry was descended into a downward spiral. The number of passengers flying dropped from 56 million in August 2001 to 30 million in September with no passengers for two days after the attacks (Poling).

Terrorism Terrorism is like a plague, killing and destroying innocent people. For every plague theret is a cure. That cure is America. Let’s face it, humans are insane.

National Geographic provides multiple accounts of filmmakers who filmed what was going in Manhattan on September11th. Allison Thompson was an accountant turned film director. The morning of Thompson saw the first plane crash into the North tower on TV and knew immediately that she had to go down there.

Years ago, a trip to the airport was an enjoyment. You didn’t have worry about terrorism that much. In 9/11, the hijackers deliberately took control over the plane, leaving passengers panicking for their lives. Airlines and airplanes were ordered to shut down all over the United States. “Immediately after the attacks, domestic air flights were ceased immediately for various days, for terror of additional attacks” (9/11 Effects in the USA, Soong).
