September 11, 2001 was a terrible event that affected us all. Shortly after the attack the government tried to improve Airline security, so nothing like this to ever happens again. So the government made the TSA come and control Airline security with new procedures. For example, full body scanners, banning certain drinks or certain amounts of drinks and the TSA is allowed to touch your body. But have these new rules gone too far? There some people who so think and some who feel the opposite.
Bruce Schneider, a security technologist said he'd be happier if the TSA ran airport security that looked like it did before 9/11, before the liquid bans, body scanners and shoe removal. "I believe the TSA is having a credibility problem," he said. John Tyner, a software engineer was at the San Diego airport when he was ejected after begin threatened with a fine and lawsuit for refusing a groin check after turning down a full- body scan. "If you touch my junk, I'm gonna have you arrested." Tyner said to a federal TSA worker.
The Patriot Act intended to help government agencies detect and prevent possible acts of terrorism. Homeland Security allows the TSA to rummage through our luggage without a warrant, treating us like we're criminals. Allowing security agents to pat down kids and teenagers, making parents cringe with fear. The TSA also enforce some new rules like, making people take of their shoes due to Richard Reid, a British man who tried to set off a bomb in his shoe three months after the 9/11 attack. And Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, a Nigerian man who tried to set of a bomb in his underwear, this threat allowed the TSA to do inappropriate pat downs to a passengers, if they suspected something suspicious. The image below, we looked at in class, suggest the TSA inappropriately patting down American landmarks that are suppose to be protecting from terrorism. Instead our government let terrorism take control of our security, letting the TSA harass us constantly and invading our privacy. Are these new TSA rules really protecting us? Are the pat downs and body scanners really necessary?
As American, we live in a country of freedom, liberty and democracy, we have the right to feel safe and protected. And because of terrorist threats like 9/11 and etc, we the Americans, are the ones being harassed by the TSA.

In The Crucible, Abigail and the girls abominations affected all the people in Salem. When they sinned, she made a devious plan to pin it on people with no power in her village, so they could be accused of witchery and not her. Can one incident really affect lots of innocent people? And, can we really count on the TSA to ensure our safety without pat down or body scanners.

I agree that we all should have the right to feel safe but since 9-11 we can't feel too safe anymore. Terrorism is getting too serious and we all need to be more precautious so nothing like 9-11 happens again. I agree that the TSA is harassing Americans because, they have something called the full body pat down and they literally check every part of your body. I have seen videos on YouTube of kids going through these pat downs and as they were being pat down, the kids were crying and felt violated by the TSA. The TSA perform these pat downs only for the safety of this country but here I believe they have gone too far.
