A change in the foreign policy of this country would decrease the risk of terrorism. Furthermore, these security measures have not been shown to be effective against terrorism. I would also argue that there has been more security measures enacted across the country in the past 10 years but they have been futile in stopping terrorist attacks. The logical answer would be to go back and seriously reconsider all these security systems. Furthermore, the terrorists are winning when these types of regulations are made laws.
Terrorism is a psychological game that thrives on fear.
Enacting these rules makes the terrorists see that they are invoking fear in the government and airline industry. Another concern I have about the proposal is the cost that small companies would incur due to the newer regulations. The FAA has little justification making the airline companies pay more money in order to enact questionable security measures. The costs on small airline companies will cause many financial burdens. Northwest Airlines already has an advantage over the other airlines because of their 3.1 million-dollar grant by the FAA to develop the CAPS system.
