Practical Impact Of 9/11
The most practical impact we saw from 9/11 today is the way security and passengers are handled at airports. Today we see many restrictions when it comes to traveling. For instance, liquids and toiletries are required to be a certain size and must be placed in clear, sealed bags. Food and bottled water is not permitted through security. Passengers must put their carry on bags onto a conveyer belt that shows what they are carrying. This process makes sure nothing that is not permitted is carried onto the flight. As for passengers themselves, they are required to walk through a metal detector and once they have done so they are chosen randomly to for more intense screenings. Over the time span of 10 years, airport security has tried many different
methods of screening that to this day people who are travelling are used to the post 9/11 restrictions. Airplanes have become more secure as a result of 9/11. The cockpit where the pilot and copilot sit, are equipped with hardened cockpit doors. Federal air marshals are assigned to flights to guard against terrorist acts, and the U.S. developed a security system know was the National Terror Advisory System which focuses on specific threats in geographical areas.
