9/11 changed the world and the United States forever and as a result the U.S. is stronger then before. Not only is the country stronger, airport security is as well. After the attacks the TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) was criticized because most Americans believed they had let everyone down. Airport security since then has changed into a time consuming, frustrating process that has scanned little kids, babies, even a 95-year-old woman. Their screening includes pat downs, body scanners, and random searches that are becoming more extensive everyday. In fact "This is a country where air travelers know to remove their shoes and belts without being asked" (Decker/Rose). 9/11 caused Americans to think about travel safety and as a result they started to expect more from our airport security, and got some significant results. September 11th 2001 has made the United States stronger.

Question 1: How was your topic affected by 9/11?

Graham Devine Hassle, time consuming

After the attacks on the twin towers, airport security across America changed into a time consuming, frustrating process. Before 911 getting to your terminal was easy and fast. Since then the TSA (transportation safety administration) has scanned little kids, babies, a 95-year-old women and their pat downs are becoming more extensive. “Complaints about TSA screening filed with the agency jumped 40% this year through June, compared with the first six months of 2010. In the month of June alone, TSA logged 1,975 screening complaints, more than double the 814 received in June 2010” (McCartney). The TSA is working to improve their efficiency and change many of the ways they do things.
