Airline Safety and Security: The Impact of September 11th
This four-page undergraduate paper examines airline security measures before and after September 11, 2001. The author notes that 9/11 exposed the vulnerability of the airlines to terrorism and generated a comprehensive review of airline safety and security. 9/11 demonstrated with tragic clarity that terrorists had acquired the capability of inflicting serious damage by using civilian airliners as guided missiles, and the airline industry and the United States government were forced to make cockpit doors more secure, formulate more thorough screenings of passengers and luggage, hire more air marshals, arm airline pilots, and discard the old policy of pilot and cabin crew cooperation with hijackers.
