Horrifying events happened on September 11, 2001. Families were separated, friendships killed, and tears were shed like rivers through the ground. On September 11, 2001, the 9/11 attack hit the united states; killing 2,996 people, and injuring 6,000 others. 19- terrorists who came from the extremist group Al- Qaeda, hijacked and additionally crashed 4 airplanes into American territory.

Before 9/11, it was easy to board an airplane with a dangerous weapon or enter the plane with no ticket. September 11, of 2001 changed that. George Bush administration secured airlines so that traveling with a potential weapon is almost impossible. Here are some examples of the regulations made to increase airport security: In order for a traveler to pass migration, they need to have a plane ticket, and need to carry their identification. An officer can submit a passenger (who needs to be 18 or older) into a specialized pat-down, to check there is no type of weapon attached to his/ her clothes or body.

This is why Guantanamo Bay detention camp is very judged. In 2009, former president Barack Obama signed an executive order to close the prison within a year, which didn't happen. In 2018 president Donald J. Trump signed another executive order so that the doors to Guantanamo Bay would remain open. This detention camp was built to stop “war on terror” terrorist, and is now one of the most hated prisons in the world.
