The threat of terrorist attacks changed American culture immensely; the devastation wakened the need for protection and a sense of security. Dramatic measures were taken in order to protect this country, so foreign relations were severely affected. Post 9/11 government saw the “link between immigration and security”, and that by changing foreign policy it would “reduce the likelihood of future attacks” (Krikorian 567).The safety measure in airports were countless from metal detectors to full body scans. “The immigration system has being penetrated by the enemy”, the officials realized which led to unfair accusation of innocents (Krikorian 568). “Overzealous officials” grill suspicious foreigners “to the point of near panic” (Khan 559).
Schaffner conveyed Cooper's instructions to the cockpit; when she returned, he was wearing dark sunglasses. Later that night he is imforfed that his needs habe been met and the plane will land and his needs will be met in exchange for all passangers. Once he has the money and the parachutes he redirects the plane now being flown by a minimal crew twords newmexico ordering all of them to remain in the cocpit. This man will later jump off that not using the parachutes given to him by the fbi in the exchange, but he takes the civilin set of parachutes instead. Somewere along that flight mr cooper will jump from the plane with 20,000 more dollars than he origanoly boarded it with.
When a passenger with an accent tried to alert the co-pilot in the cockpit, the co-pilot became alarmed and notified air traffic controllers, according to a recording of the radio exchange from LiveATC.net. “The captain has disappeared in the back, and I have someone with a thick foreign accent trying to access the cockpit right now, and I’ve got to deal with this situation,” the co-pilot said. Indianapolis-based Chautauqua Airlines, which operates the flight for Delta, said the pilot had decided to take a bathroom break about 30 minutes from LaGuardia after controllers told the crew to expect to be in a holding pattern. The sole flight attendant on board had entered the cockpit when the captain left because security rules require two crew members in the cockpit at all times. The Embraer 145 commuter jet was carrying 14 passengers.
Some security experts and the media have scrutinized and even lambasted current security measures in U.S. airports. Some of the time they are correct. In addition, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has grossly mismanaged its substantial budget and given many taxpayers the impression of another federal government entity rife with fraud, waste & abuse. The scrutiny from critics in regards to TSA’s apparent fiscal ineptitude have painted a picture of unnecessary security procedures and gross mismanagement. However, there is a clear path as to why the USFG should increase security measures in all U.S. airports, how those measures should be increased/what measures should be increased and how those increases can be enacted without increasing the current or future budgets.
Unlimited access to bailout funds through 2012. So far, Treasury has provided $60 billion of capital to Fannie and $51 billion to Freddie. Some Republicans are angry the administration is expanding the potential size of the bailout without having a plan for eventually ending the federal government's role in the companies. The companies disclosed new packages that will pay Fannie Chief Executive Officer and Freddie CEO as much as $6 million a year, including bonuses. The pay deals also drew fire.
This is where trouble happens. Many are so enamored by the Dream that when reality hits, it hits hard. The Dream cannot always be fulfilled. It gives many individuals false hope; they have such high expectations that in the end, their dreams are denied. In a Newsweek article, Death of a Dream, it talks about the idea of a “bubble dependency.” Many people were very excited about the emergence of the housing market; “people cheered as their home's "value" increased 20 percent annually.” However, when the housing bubble burst, the real-estate economy slowly evaporated and families were felt with debt.
The downside to this would be that possibly all communications will be monitored and fringes on invasion of privacy. Also used as a deterrent, higher security at airport checkpoints can hinder terrorist plans of calculated plans of attack using our nation’s airplanes. The problem here is now we have longer bag check and security checkpoint lines which causes people to become agitated and irritated that “the lines never
Because of the fear of privacy invasion, the different federal agency databases were held on individual agency specific computer systems and were not accessible to anyone, but the owner. Having such a compartmentalized system did not give law enforcement nor intelligence the ability to assist each other in putting together potentially complex terror plots, and often the more sophisticated the terror plot, the more potential for mass killing (White, 2006). Communication is key in all parts of life, and especially important when dealing with such dire consequences. The USA PATRIOT Act, in Title VII, granted the expansion of information sharing systems in order to better facilitate communication between all agencies involved in counterterrorism. This called for the implementation of the Regional Information Sharing System (RISS) as a central database for all law enforcement to use (USA PATRIOT Act, 2001).
“At the moment, there is a myth in circulation, a fable that goes something like this: Radical terrorists will take advantage of our fussy legality, so we may have to suspend it to beat them. Radical terrorists mock our namby-pamby prisons, so we must make them tougher. Radical terrorists are nasty, so to defeat them we have to be nastier.” (Applebaum). This is the story being used for validating of torture. There is no proof that this story has any truth.
Illegal votes minimize citizen’s rights in the Constitution and it undermines our democracy that was established and preached by the founding fathers; therefore a solution for this loophole should be quickly tied and these actions no longer tolerable or allowed under the 14th amendment. As citizens of the US, we have a right stated in the 1st amendment to be able to express our opinions; our values and beliefs should be directly represented through the voting process. Although future elections are predicted to be heavily influenced by this growing minority population, politicians are beginning to apprehend the negative brunt illegal immigration has bestowed upon our country as this could be a small factor in the current struggling economy. Congressman Tom Tancredo has vast prospective ideas on how to reform our immigration system. By working across the aisle a feasible and successful solution to the straining liability and encumbrances may be obtained to make our country incorrupt and hospitable to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness to the citizens of the United State of
