Question 1: How was your topic affected by 9/11? The cost of flying really hasn’t changed since 9-11 according to an annual report put out by the Bureau of transportation Statistics. Most would think after 9-11 less people would choose to fly and with increases in security that costs would sky rocket but that is not the case. According to Rita.dot.gov, which is the Bureau of Transportation Statistics website, Fares have gone up on average of 16 dollars. So how are the air lines staying afloat? By increasing their fees for making reservations on the phone, bringing a pet onboard in the cabin, and checking luggage (source: airfarewatchdog.com).

Question 2: Explain the scope (extent), intensity (depth), and nature of the affect of 9/11 on you topic. Everyone is affected by fees and instated by the airlines. The government passes new regulations which in turn makes the airlines spend more money on new security requirement which in turn makes the consumer pay more for a flight. This will continue until the consumer feels safe.

Question 3: How has debate on this issue made our country stronger? This has been a dominate issue since 9/11., it is debated and talked about often. The main question will always be on our minds, is security worth the cost? It comes up with anything to do with terrorism and comes in many forms but it is always the same question in essence. It has opened our countries eyes to the expenses of war on every front and has indeed made us stronger and wiser. __﻿ __
