Abstract
This paper gives both sides to the argument about pilots carrying guns in the cockpits. The writer discusses how while, on the one hand, the pilots would be able to protect themselves and their passengers if they carried guns, on the other hand, there are those pilots that have never had gun training and do not care to handle guns. When they became pilots they did not take into consideration that they might have to become 'soldiers of the air' as well.
From the Paper
"The Airline Pilot's Association, which is the largest pilot's union, requested support from its members in helping to pass the bill that would allow guns in the cockpit. Many pilots feel that if the pilots are trained in the use of firearms and feel comfortable with using a gun, there is no reason why they should not be allowed to have a gun onboard."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the airline transport and airport security anti-terrorist steps recently implemented. Three policies were introduced by President Bush - ?Federal Grant Program to Strengthen Aircraft Security?; ?Expanded Federal Air Marshal Program? and increased passenger security while in the airport. It looks at the advantages and disadvantages of these programs.
From the Paper
"The aftermath of the World Trade Center bombing in New York City last September 11, 2001 made the US government formulate numerous precautions and measures that will prevent and eliminate the possibility of a terrorist attack to happen again. One of the preventive measures the US government has set up was to think of national policies in airline transportations and airports that will bring security and safety to the consumers and crew of the airline company. Three major steps were delivered by US President George W. Bush that will help attain the said objectives, that of the people and crew?s safety and security."

Abstract
This paper presents a brief summary of the September 11th terrorist attack on America and the effects it had on the economy of the airline industry. The business strategies of the airline industry in order to improve business, such as price reductions and improved security measures, are outlined. The role of the government is also examined.
From the Paper
"On September 11, 2001 Taliban terrorist attacked The World Trade Center and The Pentagon. The attack was carefully planned to use American symbols, such as the choice of the airline, which was ?American Airlines,? and it happened on September 11. The ninth month on the 11th day is Americas national symbol for life saving emergencies. This attack was clearly a hatred mark for America, but all nations were affected by the crisis. Although the event is named "The Attack On America," this event could easily be named "The Attack On The World." People from over ninety nations were in the World Trade Center, including some from the same country which instigated the attack. The attack was completely unexpected, and after the impact, everyone was wondering why did it happen and who could hate America so much?
"Bin Laden, a man with very little authority and power in his own country, is the source behind the disastrous attack that destroyed the airline industry and the economy of not only America, but also many other countries. In 1993, Bin Laden attempted to destroy the World Trade Center to express his hatred for America. His attempts to attack America in 1993 failed. According to BBCnews.com, Bin Laden hated America because of his history in his own country. Bin Laden rejected his heritage to become a freedom fighter in his own country against Russia. Bin Laden first bombed an U.S. embassy in Nairobi; minutes later he bombed another U.S. embassy in Tarzani"

Temporary Flight Restrictions, 2002.
A discussion on whether the recent implementation of flight restrictions following the Sept 11th attacks are constitutional.
3,810 words (approx. 15.2 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 104.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines why Temporary Fight Restrictions (TFR) are considered unconstitutional by many quarters and how they are seriously hurting economic conditions of the United States aviation. The paper also presents a legal point of view which states that we cannot declare any action taken for security reasons as unconstitutional. This is because the federal government has Congress?s permission to take appropriate measures to ensure security of the country, its landmarks, general public and important public figures such as the president and vice president. The paper asks when these actions cross the limits of justice and start interfering with smooth operations of any industry, and explains that a petition can be filed against them in U.S. courts to determine the legality of those actions. No such action has so far been taken against TFRs, which were imposed in the wake of September 11. The paper studies the issue closely to find out why people feel that TFRs should be declared unconstitutional and how it is contributing towards bad economic conditions in the country.

From the Paper
"Temporary flight restrictions were imposed after September 11 in order to protect America public from terrorist attacks. These restrictions had a huge negative impact on the airline industry in specific and on economy in general. This is the reason why many felt that such restrictions should be declared unconstitutional even if the objective behind such measures is highly constitutional. TFR regulations have been in operation since 1971 but amendments that have taken place over the years have expanded the scope of this regulation. For example while formerly it could be invoked at certain given occasion or days, since September 11, they are being used whenever the government feels a certain site can become potential target for terrorist attacks. In order to understand why temporary flight restrictions were imposed and whether or not they are unconstitutional, we must first take a look at the economic conditions of the country after September 11. This will help us understand why any flight restrictions can further worsen the United States economic downturn. Temporary flights restrictions are issued by Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) to protect certain sites from any kind of threat. Before September 11, the main purpose of such restrictions was to protect government military sites from spy planes or to prevent possible collusion of non-participating planes during air shows. But since the tragic incident of September 11, things have changed dramatically for the airline industry as many commercial planes are now being forced to take new routes to reach destination because of FAA flight restrictions."

Abstract
This paper discusses the rising cost of security and how it is hurting airline business in the United States. The writer describes how the price tag attached with extra security measures is bringing down major airlines that were already facing a dearth of business passengers and rapid cuts in the number of flights after September 11.
From the Paper
"United States government is not only anticipating more terrorist attacks in future, it is also asking its people to pay a huge price for this fear. While the government rightly wants to beef up security in order to protect its people from terrorist activities in future, the people are unfortunately being made to pay for these governmental plans. The price tag attached with extra security measures is bringing down major airlines that were already facing a dearth of business passengers and rapid cuts in number of flights after September 11. It is important to understand that airlines industry along with the rest of travel industry has suffered immensely after September 11 but the reason why it has failed to make a decent recovery is because government is consistently levying security surcharges, which most United States airlines cannot afford.

Abstract
The following paper examines how the news media has been changed from a brave, controversy-seeking faction to a community of self-censoring, congress-fearing puppets of whom the politically powerful are the puppeteers. The writer argues that the media is not the same establishment that once looked for the extra, but it is merely a reserved, timid society, a society that has ignored its once unquenchable thirst for the truth in order to satisfy its hunger for the more material things, money and power.
From the Paper
"It is a calm, cold morning in Maine and the news is blaring in one household. The family hears that there has been another violent plane crash. Little Jimmy is quaking in his shoes, because he knows that the story will be covered constantly for most of the week, if not longer. Violent images will be shown on the television that his parents bought for Jimmy's favorite educational television shows. Jimmy decides to change the channel, but almost all of the channels are covering the same information about the plane crash. Then, an image of a man who died in the crash appears on television. Little Jimmy bursts into tears. Jimmy grows up to detest the news, and to hate plane crashes. Why must the news cover tragedies so extensively?"

A discussion on government regulations regarding drug use and mandatory screening are also described. The reader is challenged to take a position regarding mandatory drug testing of individuals employed in the aviation field.
From the Paper
"When one thinks about substance abuse, one normally thinks about drugs such as alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine. We can go on forever. Drugs are classified into four categories: stimulants, depressants, psychedelics, and inhalants. Each of these different types of drugs causes different effects on the human body. The average person can think of a neighbor, friend, or family member who is a substance abuser. It seems that he or she rarely stops and thinks about what drugs and other chemicals can do to our body. Think about how they can impair the proper judgement of an airline pilot, flight crew, aircraft mechanics. Drug abuse onboard an aircraft can result in serious injury or death in both the user and innocent passengers."

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".

From the Paper
"In 1971, Federal Express pioneered the idea to take the time-sensitive packages and letters of customers and have them delivered safely and punctually to anyone, anywhere in the world. Its orchestrated transportation modes and the ability to track the whereabouts of packages from any place in the world, truly "made the world small." The market acceptance of this new package delivery concept lead to a number of firms entering the market, but dwindling down to three major contenders. The major competitors in this industry are defined as Federal Express, the pioneer in the express package industry; UPS who was shook from its slumber by the success of Federal Express in the 1980's and 1990's and Airborne Freight that successfully moved into the express mail industry after numerous years in the perishable delivery business. FedEx has worked at a fast pace to stay ahead of its competitors and since UPS joined the express business in 1982 it has leverage its huge profits from their non-express ground business to subsidize their competition. Because of the stiff price competition, the express market has become much more price sensitive."

Abstract
This paper examines technological disasters in the airline industry. In particular it looks at the British jet aircraft industry after the accidents. It allows us to gain insight into what people?s conceptions were, and why certain events unfolded as they did. It shows us how people can learn from technological disasters, and even though they seem catastrophic at the time, they give us the necessary tools to insure that such disasters do not happen again.
From the paper:
"The Comet planes, operated predominantly by BOAC had established Britain as both a successful pioneer and leader in civil jet aviation. However, several American companies, including Boeing, were in hot pursuit of de-Havilland, fighting for their share of the new civil jet market. ?The Comets symbolized to Britons their nation?s pre-eminence in jet aviation,? 5 and so the accidents came as a devastating blow, both in the short and long term. In the aftermath of the accidents, all Comets were grounded pending investigation, causing huge problems and losses."

Abstract
This paper provides a detailed look at the FAA and its role in the Sept 11th terrorist attack aftermath. It gives a history of the establishment of this institution and asks how it will have to change to cope with the post Sept 11th reality.
From the paper:
"According to James Q. Wilson, ?War is the greatest test of a bureaucratic organization.? (Wilson, 1989, p. 45). He was of course speaking of the difficulties of leading soldiers into battle, but on September 11, airline pilots, air traffic controllers and the Federal Aviation Administration were on the front lines of a new kind of war. This essay will consider the FAA under this time of stress and rapid change."

The Price of Safety, 2001.
Paper looking at the new safety in airports and on airplanes.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper deals with the new attempts to secure airports and airlines after the Sept. 11th attacks. The author argues that passenger safety is more important than the personal rights of any one person. Invasive searches, therefore, are understandable.
From the Paper
"With the recent attacks on the US via airline highjacking with box cutters, travelers are questioning airport security standards. It has been suggested that every bag be searched thoroughly for potential weapons. This may be a direct violation of personal privacy but it is in the best interest of citizens across the world. As William Booth and Sara Kehaulani Goo report in the Washington Post Newspaper article entitled Travelers Adjust to New Airline Rules, ?some [travelers] wished for even more security measures? (Booth and Goo A1). Items as simple as eyelash curlers, nail files, and spray can deodorant are being confiscated each day in numbers totaling over 5,000 (Booth and Goo A9). To some, this is a hassle but to others this is not enough. These items may be considered dangerous or could lead to fear or serious harm to passengers on airplanes. However, the obvious solution is simple, public safety comes first before any shred of dignity, privacy, or respect."
