The Transportation Security Administration has enhanced security to many countries around the globe. These countries are ones that have past connections or potential connections with terrorism. Some of these countries who are being involved in the strict security include Cuba, Sudan, Syria and Iran to name a few. There are currently a totaly of 14 countries involved in enhanced screening and other countries plan to take part in it for other various reasons. Many of the stated countries have had some relation to al Qaeda. Numerous security plans have an expiration date, but this one plans to have a long term. The exact rule is that anyone who plans to enter the United States from an outside country that poses a threat must go through enhanced screening at airports. A few rules such as no pillows, blankets, or movement may result on airlines due to the Chrismas Day scare. This scare involved a nigerian man who attempted to detonate explosives on an airplane, but instead started a fire in his seat.
I believe it is very clever and a must to increase security to incoming passengers. This scare is not as large as 9/11 obviously but is still extremely serious. I cannot believe that our security currently isn't higher than it is. If a man got on to a plane with a bomb in his underwear than countless amounts of things could enter a plane the same way. I feel as though the airline security workers should be embarrassed and quite ashamed for the lack of concentration they put into their work. I love riding airplanes, but after these past years and all the terrorist attempts I have heard about I have become more and more nervous. Some innocent people may think this enhanced security is unjust and descriminating but I truly believe it is for the better of many other innocent citizens as well.
