pg.10 Addendum pg.11   Abstract The purpose of this research is to identify the pros and cons of an armed pilot. The argument on armed pilots has grown into a national debate. The goal is to bring awareness to the audience about plane hijacking and the benefits of a plane with arms on it for precautionary measures. This has been done by finding and examining many articles, periodicals and websites and citing the claims that have been read

company. According to a group of scientists selected by federal officials in Seattle, “A new analysis of the tie turned up particles of cerium, strontium sulfide, and pure titanium.” The particles found were mainly used in the manufacture of certain aircrafts at the time. Tom Kaye of Citizen Sleuths, said the particles indicate Cooper may have worked in one of the rare industries where they were used. Kaye also said those substances were used in one of Boeing’s plane that Cooper could've been a manger

years showing the constant change in terrorist acts in which the security of all passengers, crew, and aircrafts are at risk. The United States Government must, now, stay up to date with the newest technology for screening passengers and their belongings. The technology was not available 50 years ago, making it much more difficult for countries to maintain safer environments in their airports. Hijackings in the United States was a major shift in terrorism in the country during the Cold War. The 1960s

hijacked and two of them, brought the collapse of the World Trade Center towers in New York City. As a result of these attacks on the United States, airports have come to the realization that the only way to prevent another hijacking is by strengthening the security on aircrafts through the cockpit. In order to secure the cockpit and ensure the safety of the passengers on board, guns were introduced as a possible solution in the event of an emergency situation like those that took place in September

plane (United Airlines Flight 93) was aimed at Washington, D.C., but failed to reach its target. The passengers figured out the intentions of the hijackers and quickly took action. As a result, the aircraft crashed on a field in Pennsylvania. Afterwards, the government and the FAA ordered all aircraft to land on airports nearby and ordered flights coming from outside the United States to be turned back. In response to 9/11, former President George W. Bush and the government started to work quickly

Carry-ons were not extensively searched as they are today, and many threats including knives, guns and explosives made it past security onto passenger-carrying aircraft. Instead of the modern day Advanced Imaging Technology screening machines that can detect a variety of possible threats, airports used to use simpler metal detectors (TSA.gov).
