Abstract Airline safety has become a matter of national concern since the events of September 11th, 2001. Many factors, including airline safety standards, the lack of federal regulation checkpoints, and minimum- wage airline employees, all served to contribute to the tragedy. Addressing these issues indicates serious changes in the overall operations of public airlines and might include the introduction of federally- operated checkpoints.
Abstract This paper explains that the multinational force (MFO) was instituted two decades ago in consonance with the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty to act as an alternative to the International Emergency Force, whose mandate expired in 1979. The author points out that the multinational force had the responsibility of taking the operations at checkpoints, conducting patrols and maintaining observation units along the international borders splitting Egypt and Israel so as to watch for any violation of the provisions of treaty. The paper reviews also the conflict between Israel and its neighbors especially Palestine and relates that MFO style enforcement as a strategy of jobs for peace is beginning in Gaza.

From the Paper "It has also been agreed upon that in case Jordan decides not to participate in the negotiations, the negotiations would be made by Israel and Egypt. The two governments unanimously agreed to persistently negotiate and in good faith to conclude such negotiations as soon as possible. The agreement was also made that the goal of the negotiations are the establishment of the self governing authority in the West Bank and Gaza so as to promote complete autonomy or power to the inhabitants. The Israel and Egypt had fixed the goal of completion of the negotiations within a period of one year so as to make possible the conducing of elections as expeditiously as possible after the agreement between the parties."
Abstract A paper which investigates the steps taken by the authorities at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport to provide security for the more than 60 million people who pass through its doors each year. The paper shows procedures involved and the cost of this ongoing project.
From the Paper "Although these regulations are stated as a requirement for the airlines, it is unlikely they can be accomplished without the assistance of individual airports. After all, airports provide the facilities through which passengers and bags must pass to get to the airlines. DFW is spending $2.3 million to hire consultants to develop a plan for accommodating the estimated 80 bomb detection machines needed to comply with this new regulation. Since a layered approach is needed to meet these new regulations, DFW must continue to work with the industry, the federal government and the airlines, if airport security is going to be strengthened and enhanced sufficiently to allay the fears of the flying
public".
A study of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport with an emphasis on security issues.
Abstract This paper performs a SWOT analysis on Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and evaluates the results. The author finds that since the September 11 2001 attacks, airport security now costs four times what it did previously. With these rising costs, he finds that it is more important than ever for operations managers to stay abreast of their market positioning. They must constantly try to increase their revenues by attracting more passengers and increasing the number of flights. In order to do this, they must perform these SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats ) analyses to make better decisions based on solid facts.
From the Paper "Successful airport management depends on several factors to remain competitive. First, the cost of supplies is on a continuous rise, as well as items such as fuel, utilities, and the cost of maintaining the planes. Airports are subject to several market risks as well, such as general economic conditions, events, which drop the number of passengers, and environmental factors that may cancel or delay flights. Airports are subject to increasing risk from ever-tightening EPA regulations and stiffer FAA regulations. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, airports were under incredible strain due to shaken consumer confidence in flying."
Abstract This paper addresses the subject of business ethics in the field of aviation, as well as emphasizes the effects of September 11 on the aviation industry. Through discussing the responsibilities each part of the aviation industry has toward air travel, this paper provides a clear analysis of why enhanced business ethics concerning safety and security are of utmost importance. The paper compares security features before September 11 with those after the tragedy, in an effort to determine how they have improved and what they are still lacking. In addition, it discusses the rights of aviation employees, shareholders and passengers to determine which security and business procedures are safe and which are invasive.
From the Paper "Prior to Sept. 11, the Air Transport Association, a representative for major airlines, and the Regional Airline Association, a trade group for smaller carriers, published the main security guide for airlines. This Checkpoint Operations Guide was designed to implement Federal Aviation Administration security regulations.
However, prohibiting box cutters on airplanes was an industry requirement, not a government one. The FAA actually allowed airline passengers to carry blades less than four inches long before Sept. 11.
However, airlines often did not invest the time or money before Sept. 11 to check passengers completely. In addition, according to Rep. John Mica, chairman of the House Transportation subcommittee on aviation, the FAA did have strict guidelines for screening standards in place (Salant). This combination was a recipe for disaster."
This paper discuses that there is no definitive answer to the question of banking and security transactions on the internet because, as increasing safeguards are added, the defrauders and hackers on the internet always seem to catch up.
Abstract This paper explains that internet crime includes eager young hackers, who infiltrated web sites to see if they can get away with it; professionals, who are looking for individual data and account numbers and computer frauds such as pyramid schemes and stolen credit cards used to defraud people by ordering high-end merchandise. The author points out that Citibank has three "lines of defense" against unlawful use or access to a customer's account information: (1) Firewalls and VeriSign digital IDs, which act as an electronic checkpoint, refusing access to any intruder; (2) a scrambled 128-bit strong encryption and (3) log-on authentication, which includes not only the T-PIN number but also an additional 6-digit alphanumeric code, containing both letters and numbers. The paper relates that internet security has become an industry in itself; many large financial institutions are building gateways to protect their information storage and retrieval systems from unlawful entry.
From the Paper "Banks and other institutions that rely on electronic money transactions are now taking additional steps to assure security for their customers. Citibank is one prominent example. Their "privacy" message, accessible on the Internet, explains "In order to provide better service or to address security hazards, we will occasionally use a 'cookie'.
