From the Paper:

"Competition in the aviation industry has always been a driving force for progress in America. Originally known as Aviation Corporation, the company that emerged from the 20th century mergers and acquisitions was American Airlines. As a result of the attacks of September 11, 2001, though, this company, the U.S. government, as well as the traveling public are all demanding tighter security at the nation's airports. While the problems with security recently highlighted by various industry analysts are not new, they have been the focus of a much more urgent debate since the country is virtually at war, both politically and economically. These attacks have hammered the aviation industry in the United States to the extent they may not recover, even in the long-term, without much more assistance from both the federal government as well as an immediate increase in the number of passengers being carried."
