Security
The old conservative doctrine, adopted by the United States, that it is invent the motif to justify an invasion: a preventive war. This tradition was there before the Bush administration. In 2002, the government of the United States put in place The Homeland Security Act, the mission of this new governmental organism (U.S. Department of Homeland Security) is to prevent terrorist attacks in the country, to reduce the vulnerability of the US to terrorism and to minimize the damage and the impact of recovery, after terrorist attacks that happens in the US.
Another measure US administration creates is the Transportation Security Administration. It main goal to manage the big transportation by providing staffs that will operate the screening equipment such as the body scanners in the airports, the explosive detection screening for baggage, and the sky marshals that expanded dramatically from a hundred of them before the 9/11 to many thousands. It cost 2,50$ per transportation ticket in the September 11th Security Fee. Annually, the TSA yield 10 billions in taxes (2 billions from direct citizens transportation fees and another 8 billions given by the government). There is a bill that just wait to past in front of the congress to increase the tax to 5$ per transportation ticket. The first rule is in operation since 2005.
Another association, the International Air Transport Association who have as member over than 200 airlines companies, said that they invest 8,4 billions a year on security measure internationally. Is director general, Tony Tyler, said: “We spend a huge amount of resource on screening people who quite frankly do not need it”. He also said British airlines do not find until 2003 the same traffic as they had in 2000. This as caused an astronomic deficit during two years.
