Airing Out Airport Security Article Review by Top Papers

This paper reflects on an article critical of post-9/11 airport security changes. The article was written by conservative columnist Ann Coulter who makes the case that the policies are actually more painful for the passengers than the would-be terrorists, and that their feeble enactment actually helps to realize the objectives of the terrorists in disrupting the lives of people living in Western societies. A further implication she makes is that actually community policing, with enhanced post-9/11 awareness, is more responsible for keeping people safe than these dubious policies.
