A bomb in the main luggage cargo hold blew up. This could have been prevented if the airport had the machine to check for bombs. 1.5 million dollars mig!.
ht seem like a lot of money for the machine that can check bags, but in my opinion, a persons life is priceless.
Another thing that has got to change in airports is the people hired. You would think that all airports would do a background check on all of the employees it hires. Especially when the people working in the airports have access to anywhere in the airport at almost anytime. This means they can get by security, and into areas were they can easily slip a bomb or weapon on to the plane. In .

some cases airports have hired criminals with warrants out for their arrest, and even illegal aliens. I don't feel safe knowing that I can be looking right out the window, and the guy working on the wheels of the plane could be an illegal alien. All of the airports are required to do a background check of the people they are hiring, but because of lazy people , this is not done. The airports need to make sure they check every-ones background before they hire them. This is such an easy task for them to do, and because they are lazy, they don't do it.
Airport security is another big thing that has got to chance. According to Dave Allport (2001, November) "Airline Security Crisis" Airliner World, The Global Airline Scene P.6-11, a test was performed to see how easy it was for somebody to sneak past secured areas, and the numbers are frightening. An averaged dressed man simply slipped by security by walking behind other airport employees. He did this over 26 times before he was even caught. Sometimes he would find a persons name tag with a photo idea on it, steal it, and where that around the airport. The picture doesn't even look like him, and at times he would even where a females name tag. At one point a man came up to him, looked at his name tag and picture, called him by that persons name, and told him to have a nice day.
