POST GROUP'S STATEMENT HERE Since 9/11, America has become more aware of the dangers surrounding the country enabling security to keep civilians safer with out altering their day-to-day lives.By making public events still safe enough to attend, it proves that America is more aware of potential threats and that we can overcome them. The fact that there have been "39 terrorist plots failed since 9/11" (McNeil Mayer 1) proves that using preventive tactics, like prohibiting items truly makes a difference. The government has reasons to be prohibiting such items to be brought to public events, even though we don't think those items could be potential threats to us, they are. In 2005, during an University of Oklahoma football game a student showed up to the game with a backpack and he tried to get in, but security said otherwise and they made him get away from the stadium, but about 200 yards away from the stadium "Hinrichs blew himself up in the attempt to pursue what he intended to do inside the stadium" (Brady, 2). After 9/11, security personnel increased in public venues to keep us safer and "The National Center for Spectator, Saftey and Security (NCS4) which was founded in 2006 to help fill a void in training and emergency planning that became apparent after the 9/11 attacks" (10 Years). Surveillance technology has skyrocketed in usage after the attacks of September 11th, 2001. Many public places such as sporting events, concerts, museums and schools have placed surveillance cameras in order to keep the masses safe from future attacks. A middle school in "Phoenix, Arizona, installed face-rocognition police surveillance equipment to keep track of missing children and registered sex offenders (Gee 2). The U.S. should keep the amount of security we have now because it has prevented many attacks and nothing extremely bad has happened since 9/11.
