Abstract
After the devastating effects of September 11th, airline and airport security are paramount to most American travelers. The paper begins with a brief history of aviation security before examining what the American government is doing to enhance security today. The paper examines what the Federal Grant Program to Strengthen Aircraft Security entails and addresses additional changes such as the take-over of airport security by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
From the Paper
"So why was airport security so poor and why has it been under constant scrutiny by the public and the FAA? Even before the terrorist attacks on September 11th, the airport security industry was troubled. Airport security companies were forced to work under a vicious cycle of economic forces that it could not control. Airlines, in order to save money, have commonly gone with the lowest bidder. In order to win these contracts, security companies paid a lower wage to its employees. Sometimes the old adage of you get what you pay for is true. Security staff workers at airports received little training and had limited backgrounds in the field of security. Most had no security background at all. (Boyne) This type of inert protection may have worked well in the 1970?s when threat of a non-violent, non-suicidal hijacker with a metal weapon was involved."

Abstract
This paper takes an in-depth look at airport security policies before and after the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York. The paper looks at the some of the policies adopted by the Clinton Administration, including the salary levels of the personnel who man the security stations at the airports. The author then examines the policies that the Bush Administration has implemented, or attempted to implement since the September 11 attacks. Some of the new government agencies, roles and policies are discussed in light of the new environment created by these terrorist attacks. In the aftermath of this tragedy and others including Oklahoma City and Columbine High School, the U.S. government was quick to introduce new policies that, had they been in place prior to these tragedies, may have helped prevent them from occurring. Despite this feeling, the new policies have been successful in helping to re-gain the public's confidence in airline travel in the United States.
From the Paper
"While airport security policies have vastly improved since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, there is still no guarantee that the nation will be eternally free from such violent attacks. In addition, there are rising concerns about whether the imposition of such rigid airport security policies violates individuals? privacy rights. Although emergencies such as the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks result in prompt action, emergencies have also always been a time when the niceties of law have been most vulnerable to the demands of national security or national hysteria. The most vivid example of this was during World War II, when Japanese Americans were rounded up like cattle and detained in internment camps. Likewise, after the Oklahoma City bombing, the Immigration and Naturalization Service was authorized to establish a new court to consider the deportation of suspected alien terrorists, in which cases would be heard without the usual obligation to inform the accused of the evidence against them."

Abstract
This research paper examines the statistics and incidents post-September 11th in which their have been security breaches on aircrafts allowing weapons to be brought on board. Also on the basis of the information and facts presented, predictions about the future of airline security are made.
From the Paper
"Terrorism has now and for years past been a word that strikes fear deep into people's hearts. Webster's Dictionary defines terrorism as mass-organized ruthlessness (323). In Zafar Siddiqui's article, "Terrorism statistics just do not add up", he states, "The State Department says that from 1996-2000 there were 676 terrorist incidents directed at the U.S. worldwide," (Siddiqui). Remember, that fact on terrorism is only about incidents directed at the United States and does not include terrorism directed at other countries. "On September 11th, 2001, hijackers rammed jetliners into each of New York's World Trade Center towers, toppling both in a hellish storm of ash, glass, smoke and leaping victims," (Jones). After September 11th, security at all major airports was increased. Though, post-September 11th one is left to ask, can our present security measures really deter weapons from being brought on our airplanes?"

From the Paper
"Airline security has been of growing importance for several decades as world tensions have led to terrorist acts, hijackings, and other attacks on travelers as a way of making a political statement. The regulations that are now in place have been evolved over time in the face of a number of tragedies brought about by ignorance of the dangers, lax security measures, and similar factors. From the point of view of the airlines, safety concerns also lead to concerns over issues of liability in cases where security measures may fail. The issue is whether the security measures being implemented by the U.S. aviation industry are sufficient to avoid liability for damages caused to air travelers by terrorist acts.
The danger of terrorist attack is such that the legislature has responded with a number of regulations for airline security..."

Abstract
This paper reviews the ways in which airports and airlines across America are trying to target and accommodate customers in the aftermath of the industry's near-collapse after 9/11. The paper particularly looks at how airports are trying to assuage security concerns while simultaneously offering new services to busy professionals. The writer also touches upon how airports are attempting to link their facilities to the buying predilections of certain segments of the population. Additionally, the paper reviews the determined efforts of the airline industry itself to offer more "bang for the buck" while doing what it can to reassure customers that their flight experience will not be troubled by concerns centering around whether or not their luggage will arrive with them at their destination.
From the Paper
"Busy commuters, security "freaks," and consumers interested in easy access to niche providers are only a few of the customer demographic groups that stir the interest of airport management. Another group, frequently overlooked, is the airport user who is a compulsive shopper. Naturally enough, these sorts of individuals are a key demographic inasmuch as airports are wholly aware that items purchased on their premises mean money in pocket at the end of the fiscal year. Of course, logic dictates that airport marketing professionals are well-acquainted with certain groups - it could be young women, affluent elderly couples, or businesspeople with a penchant for impulsive buying - that like to buy items (and specific types of items) at the airport rather than elsewhere at a store. The problem, or so it would seem, is that knowing individuals (and which kinds) who want to buy at the airport does not necessarily translate into providing the sort of technology or services that can facilitate their purchasing decisions and activities. Consequently, the airport truly desirous of deriving profit from waiting families or individuals must renovate its inner structure and give people ready access to such technology."

Commerical Airline Crew Members: Subject to Security Screening, 2002.
A paper which argues the need for airline staff to undergo security screening.
2,254 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
A paper which argues that commercial aircrews should be subject to routine airport security screening. Just because someone is recognized as being a regular crewmember gives little credence to whether or not that individual is a planted terrorist. The paper shows that becoming lax with standard protocol is the first indication that the security system is faulty and the precise clue a terrorist looks for in order to know when to strike. The paper looks at the need for tighter security, especially after September 11.
From the Paper
"In light of the events of September 11th, a pertinent element of today's airline industry is the increased importance of airport security. From frequent bodily searches to passengers removing their shoes to matching each bag with its owner to allowing only ticketed passengers beyond certain points, a renewed vigilance has transformed the security process into something the public believes should have existed long before this point. Still one must ask: Is this all that can be done, or do the airlines need to focus upon their own employees as an added measure of precaution?"

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 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
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".

Cost Structures of American Airlines and Southwest Airlines
The Airline Offering the Best Value
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The development of the airline business in e-commerce started in the early 1980s, and this was when the academics and consultants found out that a few managers had developed their strategy around IT applications, though the move may have been inadvertent. The first move was by American Airlines and United Airlines with their reservation systems. In other industries, American Hospital Supply had developed an online ordering system, and Frito-Lay had developed a handheld device for the field staff. During the 90s, the concentration was on re-engineering, and this was a concentration on technology. Towards the end of the 90s, came the predominance of e-commerce or e-strategy. The concentration then shifted on to judgment of how Internet affected the business."

From the Paper
"Historically the airline industry has been resilient to trends. But the investment made in the September 11th attacks was relatively small ? It is estimated that the hijackers spent about $50,000 total for their accommodations, rental cars and airline tickets. But in the week which followed the attacks, the financial injury to the American economy became clear -$60 billion in direct costs to the US economy and well over $600 billion in stock market losses (Dallas Business Journal, 2003) . Perhaps the hardest hit was the airline companies. Questions were raised about airline security, and the airlines stood in significant danger of being named in thousands of law suits from families who lost loved ones in the attacks."

This paper discusses hub-and-spoke business models within the airline business.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that there are two different major classifications of airlines, legacy carriers such as Delta Airlines, American Airlines and United with hub-and-spoke systems and newer low-cost airlines such as Southwest, JetBlue, and AirTran with point-to-point models. The writer notes that armed with lower airfares, low-cost carriers have already captured around 20% of the market and are rapidly gaining an even greater market share. The writer explains that most legacy airlines have at least one central airport that their flights have to go through and from that hub, the spoke flights take passengers to select destinations. This hub-and-spoke system is in sharp contrast with point-to-point models that fly directly between two small markets. The writer discusses that in the past, hubs enabled legacy airlines to provide frequent service to many cities with short layovers, but now many travelers are no longer willing to pay high ticket prices.
From the Paper
"Because Delta has an expensive hub-and-spoke business models, weak financial performance, anemic consumer demand and higher energy costs, it doesn't make sense for it to try to compete solely on price. Instead, Delta needs to explore price discrimination to find those customers that are willing to pay more for airline services. Given weak demand, increased competition and a flat or marginally improving economy, one-to-one marketing practices are needed to find new customers and to justify their higher prices.
"On the Internet, airlines have access to personal data entered by the consumer (name, address, gender, email, phone, credit card numbers, travel preferences) surfing patterns and purchase history. This type of information provides unparalleled opportunities for price discrimination. Not only can Delta rely on supply-and-demand factors to formulate different prices for the same service, it can now use their wealth of customer data to charge consumer's maximum prices."
