Everyday the world falls victim to terrorism,News

Modern airport security screening,such as metal detectors, bag X rays, and secure boarding area was permanently established in direct response to early international hijacking campaigns.

Global aviation authorities mandated these protocols to prevent political terrorists from bringing weapons and explosives onto commercial aircraft.

The daily inconvenience and loss of peaceful travel experienced by modern passengers remain a direct, permanent legacy of those early violence campaigns by political terrorists.

"Airport security includes the techniques and methods used in an attempt to protect passengers, staff, aircraft, and airport property from malicious harm,crime,terrorism and other threats".

The story is about a wikipedia report

Modern aviation security exists entirely because of terror campaigns and historical hijackings that forced global authorities to permanently transform commercial flight into a heavily monitored security system. The PBS report illustrates this reality by showing how the tragic terror event of 9/11 accelerated decades old security protocols into the intrusive, everyday checkpoints passengers are subjected to today.

"The worst terror attack on American soil led to increased and sometimes tension-filled security measures in airports across the world, aimed at preventing a repeat of that awful day".

Yeah but all the rules are completely pointless and ineffective.

Forcing everyone to take a bite of a bacon sandwich before boarding is all that was ever needed!

95% of worldwide act of terrorism are created by Muslims.

3% by Jews.

Leaving a random 2% for everyone else.

Not only airports.

Terrorism led to loss of rights, and constant surveillance of everything everywhere. Phones calls, internet, people and vehicle movement, tracking wifi and Bluetooth signals from all personal electronic devices, banking, reporting or limitation of purchase of certain goods, increased rights of stop and search and detainment. The right to demand passwords

Just the use of the word terrorism gave governments the excuse to introduce a whole lot more powers.

i don't think people realise exactly how much they are actually tracked all day everywhere.

We keep hearing that due to advances in screening techniques, the limitation on travelling with liquids and other certain goods will soon be lifted, but it never seems to happen.

I asked a family member who recently started flying if they knew why we had the be subjected to all the screening , they had no clue.

What is terrorism?
Before the events of 9/11, that word didn't exist. There was the word "saboteur." It referred to a military operative carrying out acts of sabotage on behalf of a state. Typically, such an operative would be captured, and the truth about their objectives and the parties who commissioned them would be beaten out of them.
After 9/11, the new brand "terrorist" emerged—a term journalists endlessly hyped up. This new label implied that saboteurs no longer had sponsors and were acting as free agents; consequently, they had to be killed on the spot. Usually, freshly printed passports from a particular country would be "found" on them, and that country would then be "liberated" from "terrorism."
I am ashamed that great countries like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are participating in this Western hype-driven circus. I hope Vlad puts an end to it.

Cobblers. Terrorists planted an explosive device on my dad's car in 1978.

But you are a well known supporter of terrorism.

According to the mentally ill person running the account known as Zmisha, none of these examples were caused by terrorists

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter - there's a lot of truth in that old chestnut. QE2 could spot one a mile off - paedos less so. Without terrorism Israel would not exist. So let's row back on the muslamic terrorism trope.

Not terrorists - choose your poison. Sinn Fein ,Irgun and the ANC all went on to greater things - it's not just the state that has a right to bear arms.

Apparently cluelessness runs in the family.

As a result of terrorism:

The YT video of Capt. Nick Dobby on Continental Flight 45, diverted to Gander after U.S. airspace closed on 9/11, shows this suspicion in action as Canadian officials treated every plane and passenger as possibly harboring “bad guys", keeping them confined for 27 hours. This lasting effect born from terrorism, turned ordinary travelers into subjects of scrutiny that continues in modern airport protocols.

Yet another thread from Mr Happy designed to cheer us all up.

Can't wait for the next one......... mutant virus developed by the left wing Democrats designed to only infect millionaires and morons.

There was some sort of terrorist convention this week in Texas. I think it was called MAGA Midterm, or something like that.

When one fat and bloated speaker after another went on stage, the speaker mentioned names of some Congressional candidates and the sitting mayor of New York City. With the mention of each name---all Democrats---the terrorists in the crowd yelled, "He should be shot".

I certainly hope FBI Director Patel took note of those terrorists and will strike them down before they do serious damage to US democracy.

196 Interpol member countries recognize and work together with shared responsibility to thwart terrorism and other threats.

"On this 25th anniversary, INTERPOL remembers victims of terrorism worldwide and reflects on how the 9/11 attacks shaped international security cooperation. Terrorism remains a global threat that transcends borders, targeting innocent victims every year. Our commitment to justice in the fight against terrorism remains unwavering".

How terrorism and 9/11 helped create the modern airports in America, a look into Boston's Logan International airport security apparatus .The daily inconvenience and loss of peaceful travel experienced by modern passengers remain a direct, permanent legacy of those early violence campaigns by political terrorists.

Inside Logan: How 9/11 helped create the modern American airport

"September 11th changed the world forever; but in particular, it changed airports. Twenty-five years later, Ian Coss goes inside Boston’s Logan Airport — the place where the 9/11 attacks began — to see how that day transformed the experience of flying"

"The September 11 attacks, colloquially known as 9/11, were a coordinated series of suicide attacks perpetrated by the Islamic terrorist organization al-Qaeda against the United States in 2001. The first two planes were flown into each of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center in New York City, while the third plane crashed into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, in Arlington County, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in a rural field in Pennsylvania during a passenger revolt".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks

"Everyday the world falls victim to terrorism" to political terrorism and historical hijacking campaigns that permanently reshaped flying in the world ,creating today’s airport security, screening, and protocols as a direct response to threats against passenger flights (including the legacy of 9/11).

This incident is a example of an attempted in flight terror attack on innocent civilians recently, targeting an Israel bound commercial flight, terrorism continues to endanger ordinary air travel in the modern era... stay tuned more to come on the investigation.

"Graphic video shows the captain of a Tel Aviv-bound FlyDubai flight drenched in blood and clinging to life, after his co-pilot allegedly stabbed him in what Israeli officials believe was an attempted terror attack".

Just when innocent people thought they can fly the friendly skies. An Attempted Terror attack over head was thwarted by some hero passengers.

"He told the PM the stabbed pilot was able to open the door before collapsing to the ground ... giving passengers the chance to rush and subdue the attacker".
