After September 11, 2001 America was never the same again. The terrorist attacks changed the way our government works and thinks. Our policy and politics were directed towards security reforms. This includes airports, government buildings and nationwide international security heightening. America also changed how it dealt with extremist, after the devastating 9/11 incident, no one wanted to live through that again.…
The SAR equipped UAS could be used to search locations that might be hazardous to boats or just cover a particular area without having to call in air support (McFarland, 2015). Once the victims are located the UAS could also be used actively in the rescue. Victims are not always able to communicate and often times could be hurt. The UAS could be used to pass radios, rescue equipment, or medical supplies to the survivors (Charns & Reagan, 2015). Hurricane Monitoring…

In September 2009, the United States Air Force (USAF) graduated its first pilot training class that did not receive flight training.1 These pilots are not headed for the cockpit but to the controls of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS). In 2009, the USAF trained more UAS pilots than fighter or bomber pilots2 in an attempt to meet what the former commander of United States Central Command labeled an “insatiable need” for UAS.3 While the UAS “surge” began under President Bush, President Obama is expanding both UAS acquisition and their use.4 The proposed 2011 defense budget would double UAS production and for the first time the USAF will order more UAS than manned…
of the 9/11 attacks, Congress had passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATS) which federalized airport security. The Transportation Security Administration was created as a result of the ATS Act. The Transportation Security Administration started to create strict rules to make the airline security a better and safer system. After September 11th, 2001, these new threats meant there needed to be even more procedures added to protect our country from attacks. TSA started by making new guidelines which included; taking your shoes off before going through the screens, banning liquids, passenger and luggage screening, only people with tickets could go beyond the security gates, and the ever changing machinery and procedures used to…
The recent actions of David Boggs filing a federal complaint of his drone being shot down by his neighbor Mr. Merideth is starting an intriguing process of determining legal code in the United States. The main question, what should the relationship be between drones and private property? Whatever the district court’s decision is, the case will undoubtingly become a precedent for future cases revolving around unmanned vehicles and private property. It will be interesting to see how exactly this case is to be conducted. Since a crucial part of the argument rests in how far the drone was above Mr. Merideth’s property, it seems that creating a set range of how far a drone could operate from an individual’s property would raise a whole hoax of questions.…
Many people may not know that Air Defense Artillery lineage comes from Coastal Artillery Corps. It was created after the revolutionary war in order to protect the United States coasts against naval attacks and bombardments by ships. Air Defense Artillery has come a long way and has had to continuously evolve in order to protect the US from adversaries and danger. From the Multiple Gun Motor Carriage M-16 Halftrack to Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, the mission has always been to protect the United States at all cost. Even though the Air Defense Artillery is very different then when it started as Coastal Artillery, the Concept remains the same.…
(Park) CNN- It was September 11, 2001. Greer Epstein, employed at The World Trade Center, never took breaks at work simply because she never had the time. About 8:40 AM, one of her coworkers asked if she wanted to join him for a cigarette break to discuss an upcoming work related meeting. While descending in the elevator, Epstein felt a jolt which she chose to ignore.…

Do you think the evolution of airport security since 9/11 has made a positive or negative impact on the U.S. I think it has impacted the safety of U.S citizens positively because, before 9/11 you didn’t even have to take off your shoes, or any of your electronics out of your bag and you didn’t have to have a passport to go to and from Canada. We are a lot safer now that security is being taken seriously. 54% of people say that they would give up their privacy and freedoms to be protected from terrorist attacks. I know some people might think that airport security is a little bit much but really all of it is for a reason.…

Terrorist attacks on air travel has been high in demand ever since such a devastating day, September 11, 2001. Airport security has been the biggest controversy in this generation and the main topic is the assurance of travelers safety.…
After final review and approval by DA leadership, I placed the DHS (Interim) Strategic Air Surveillance Requirements into the formal AMO headquarters routing process for approval by the Executive Assistant Commissioner. The DHS (Interim) Strategic Air Surveillance Requirements provides information vital for the assessment of current air surveillance capabilities, and provides baseline information required to address future air security threats, allowing for the development of the best surveillance system, not solution, for the future. By updating the DHS (Interim) Strategic Air Surveillance Requirements, I have enhanced and improved mission effectiveness and will allow AMO and DHS to achieve 100% domain awareness within their respective operational areas in order to secure the…
Many people like enjoy the sport of running in their own neighborhood, but don't bring with them any form a defense against attackers. A UAS could be used to track and follow a runner on his or her running path, and be used to notify police and/or emergency responders in case anything happened. One last example is yard work, many homeowners are elderly and simply cannot climb ladders to conduct chores such as cleaning the gutters. A UAS could make quick work of this task with simple attachments, and prevents the chance for injury of the elderly person.…
Thousands died on 9/11; family members, friends, firefighters and police, either trying to save lives or even trying to save their own. Strict enforcements on airplane security has become more challenging/advanced ever since the twin towers were bombed on 9/11, til this day it is still a hard topic to talk about. Not only has strict enforcement been challenging/advanced it has become a very time consuming task for people trying to catch their plane, but people understand that it is for their safety. Transportation plays an important role in a community both socially and economically, unfortunately trad patroon is a suitable target for criminal mischievousness. Airplane security has improved in ways that does not put anyone’s life in danger since the 9/11 attack, it decreases any terrorist attacks, improves safety precautions, the advanced technology, and puts more people into jobs.…
