AIRPORT SECURITY BY GRIFFIN GLOVER

INTRODUCTION  If you have been to an airport recently then you know what the security is like. s

THE PROBLEM The increase in airport security is directly connected to the rise of global terrorism x300.jpg

OUR CURRENT SOLUTION

OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE A BETTER TRACK RECORD  El Al – voted safest airline in the world three times in a row  Israeli  Quantas – only fatal plane crash ever an that was in 1965  Australian  Air Canada – All of their pilots have over 14 years of flight experience.  Canadian  British Airways – One of the oldest airways and one of the best records.  British

US TRACK RECORD  American Airlines – lost two planes to terror related activates  U.S  Continental Airlines – One terror related plane crash.  U.S

OVERKILL This is just over the line

WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE?

IS THIS PROFILING? Today we can easily distinguish who is a terrorist and who is an average passenger. They don’t have to be middle eastern but can be from any area that hates the U.S

WHAT WE SHOULD DO?  Profile people who are from troubled areas or have committed crimes overseas.  Use metal detectors and x ray machines.  All security should be run by people who work for the airlines.  If security detains a questionable person then they do a full body search.  Keep people moving in the regular security lines.

THE FUTURE?
