On September 11, 2001, American soil was brutally penetrated and destructed by the terrorist group al-Qaeda. The group hijacked four commercial airplanes. Two of the planes crashed into and destroyed both World Trade Towers located in New York City. A third plane hit the Pentagon, near Washington, D.C. The forth and final plane crashed near the town of Shanksville in Pennsylvania. Almost 3,000 people died from this attack.

Aircraft
What measures do you think should be adopted to ensure safety on airplanes?
As I said before, retina scans and other biometrics would confirm the identity of passengers and make it less likely that a hijiker could take over the plane. It would be very expensive, however, and might even continue to slow down airport security. I also think something should be done to absolutely ensure that a passenger gets on the plane where his/her luggage is. That is an area of security that hasnt been fully addressed.
Why do you feel airport security would be helped if a passenger had to board the plane by baggage claim? What would be an effective, yet safe way to speed up the process of going through airport security?
