Ten Years After 9/11: Assessing Airport Security and Preventing a Future Terrorist Attack

The morning of September 11, 2001, I remember watching television with one of my daughters and she asked "why did that plane fly into the building?" It was the second plane flying into the World Trade Center and at that point we knew it was no accident. America was under attack.

There were a total of 2,996 deaths that day. It is estimated US stocks lost $1.4 trillion in value. The United States went to war and we have lost thousands of men and women in the battle against terrorism. And we continue to fight the terrorists and protect our homeland.
