September 11th, 2001 impacted the world in many ways. Arguably, the aviation industry has been impacted more so than other industries...and this impact has come in the form of lengthy and detailed security measures.
What is the cost/benefit of these measures? Are they really making the aviation industry safer or do they exist merely for public perception? Are there holes in the security process? Can the US perform these security measures more efficiently? How will existing and future security directly affect your career?
In class, we read two articles - "Terrorism's Impact on Business Aviation" from Business and Commercial Aviation and "Known Crewmember Launches" from Airline Pilot. Hopefully, these articles will get you up to date on the security measures of two sectors of the industry - the business aviation and airline industries. In addition, please read this article about security measures at Israeli airports and how they differ from security within the US.
Again, you can approach this topic however you wish. The questions/topics above are only asked to get the wheels turning. The only requirements are to have one link and write 3-5 paragraphs. To clarify, please integrate your link in your discussion. Also, please make sure your links are to credible sources, and if they are to an article, make sure it is a full-length article -not just an abstract.
