9-11 Informative Essay
Don’t you just love our security in airports these days? Because I sure do! Ever since 9-11, Bush and the entire administration decided it would be a good idea to tighten up airport security! Which should have been in effect long before 9-11, but that’s just my opinion and views! Who cares about my opinion anyway?! Each time I go to the airport, I get a kick out of the whole process that we abide by. You go to the airport and check in and all that baloney, until you get to the exciting part! First we have to show a random worker our passport, and that’s where they look at the passport and look back at the picture about two or three times to confirm that our facial features are similar!

Then we walk through another machine that has a mind of it’s own which approves or disapproves of us. I feel so bad for the passenger that has to walk through about five times to see if there carrying anything illegal on board! In the end the employees find out that the “BEEP” noise that was coming from the machine for the last five minutes was because of the metal plate in the passengers knee, who would of thought? That is also where you get the twenty-one questioner, “ Are you carrying any guns, knives, or any type of explosive?”, “ Do you plan to blow up the plane?”, and “ Was hijacking a plane written down in your planner?” All this security is so we
don’t get blown up in the sky, or just happen to get diverted to Cuba. After spending four to five hours in the lousy, packed airport, we better get to the destination that we planed on going to! Besides how unnecessary most of the security check points seem in the end, you must feel a little safe and satisfied. We hope!
