Question 1: How was your topic affected by 9/11? Click edit, post the power paragraph for question 1. Federal security was major topic affected by 9/11. Since the attacks, legislation had all of these plans and ideas to make up new laws and improve security in all federal buildings mainly in Washington. There was and still is only one problem, money. In order to improve security in these buildings, it will costs lots money to follow through with what the Federal Protective Service has planned. Surprisingly there have not been major changes to Federal buildings and this upsets lots of people.

Question 2: Explain the scope (extent), intensity (depth), and nature of the affect of 9/11 on you topic. Click edit, post the power paragraph for question 2. Americans got lucky when two of the airplanes crashed before destroying two destinations which happened to both be important federal buildings, the Capitol Building and the White House. After 9/11 it made the government really open their eyes and put forth ideas of how we can improve the security in federal buildings since they would now be a major target in these kinds of attacks. Different bills were addressed with ideas like improving the landscaping and making it harder for people to come in contact with these buildings. Other ideas such as making security guards go through a new training that will improve their overall ability to protect these builidngs. Here's the problem, none of this has happened yet. Even though we talk about improving security in these places, nothing has changed. Recent reports say that the Government Accountibility Office smuggled bomb-making materials into to major federal buildings. The Federal Protective Service is not making any significant changes and members of the Homeland Security committee are getting a bad vibe as well as us fellow americans.

Question 3: How has debate on this issue made our country stronger? Click edit, post the power paragraph for question 3. Since there have been no significant changes to this area of discussion, it still raises awareness about federal building security and gives us motivation to change this field of security. Debate on this issue have made our country stronger by motivating us to make those significant changes and help legislature come together to put forth ideas that will protect not only us but federal buildings as well. The Federal Protective Service is fully aware of this problem it is just time they need to come forward with ideas and materials to make these changes.
