How has the impact of terrorist organizations and terrorist networks and their activities evolved and changed their objectives over time and why?
Consider some of the following points (but you are not limited to this, you can seek to answer your own questions on the topics)
a. Describe, broadly, what terrorism means in the modern world (what is the official definition from a Western perspective)
b. What are some of the difficulties in tackling this type of criminal activity, which is often global in scale and constantly morphs. Consider the many organizations which are considered/labeled to be terrorist – Al-Queda, El-Shebab, Boko Haram, Black September (in the 1960s and 1970s), PLO, IRA and others
c. What are some terrorist networks of interest to the US and its national security?
d. What are some of the challenges concerning civil liberties in the US, as was evident with the Patriot Act and other policies which have targeted private citizens for the purpose of combating terrorist activities.
e. What is US policy regarding this issue and how is that impacting US relations with the world?
f. Discuss at least two proposals for combating terrorism and analyze which, in your opinion, would be more effective.
Terrorist attacks and threats form a substantial concern to both airport security and national security. The threats of these attacks come in different forms of execution and complexity. Detection of the dynamic nature of the terrorists and their ever-changing tactics provides a challenge to airport security stakeholders. Despite the technological advancements and surveillance, aircraft hijacking still remains barely undetectable (Tibi, 2003). In this advanced technology era, could modern surveillance and monitoring be used to detect and identify hijacking plans before they happen?
First, hijacking airplanes has previously been used by terrorists with one of the most prominent occurrences being the 9-11 attack in the US (Klenka, 2019). This kind of attack still remains a great risk to airlines and airports due to the difficulty in detection (Hub & Komenda, 2017). Aircraft hijacking could be conducted using the simplest weapons like human strength whereas a large extend of airport security is focused on the detection of weapons and harmful substances. However, the security systems cannot detect a would-be aircraft hijacker.
Although other forms of surveillance like social media monitoring could aid in identifying terrorism planning and targets, the likely event of a lone wolf operator or a group of operators with minimal online footprint could be undetectable. They may not fit the stereotypes of a terrorist while boarding but cause massive destruction and harm if they use the “air-borne” aircraft as a weapon of massive destruction.

The administration that oversees the transportation of firearms is the same one that’s overseeing tobacco and alcohol transportation as well,
the ATF or U.S. Treasury Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, unlike common belief, it’s still allowed for some firearms to be transported through air, examples are firearms used for hunting or sports. as of April 11th, 2006 a bill that encapsulates everything about the ATF transportation was introduced, Title 27 CFR of the ATF Regulations, stating that firearms have to be unloaded and be put in a cargo placement, and requiring official law enforcement personnel to inspect it and put tags on the carry cases of the firearm. laws differ from state to state so doing research prior to checking-in a firearm(going along with the rules of the law) would be convenient both for the traveler and the local law enforcements.
Carrying a firearm in the airplane is strictly prohibited, even a concealed carry, however, it is allowed in some parts of the airports, depending on the state, of course, sterile areas are still prohibited.
Select a domestic terror group that has been active in recent years and describe it. If you have difficulty selecting an appropriate group, consider environmental groups, animal rights groups, ethnic hate groups, or anti-abortion groups. Your discussion of the selected group should cover the following:
Provide a description of the group’s motivation, goals, and membership.
Describe an example of an action that the group has taken that would meet the definitions of terrorism.
Analyze whether this group is gaining strength. What are the factors that will influence whether this group grows in strength or weakens?
Describe the efforts of law enforcement to combat the group.
Propose strategies for the government to deal with this group in the future. Keep in mind that there may be things the government can do to address the group’s underlying motivations – think beyond “law enforcement.” Be sure that any proposals you offer are constitutional and realistic.
Combating terrorism has entailed restrictions on civil liberties. How can we reconcile civil liberty and national security? Are we better off opting for more liberty or more security? Are the two goals mutually exclusive? Have Americans become less supportive of the limitations on liberty put into place after the terror attacks in 2001, or do they still perceive that it makes sense to give up some liberties in order to feel more secure?
After 9-11, American responses to terrorism had to shift from a reactive model to an intelligence-led proactive model.
Please respond to the following:
Compare and contrast the American response to acts of domestic terrorism with acts of international terrorism.
Predict at least one way these responses may change within the next five years. Provide a rationale for your prediction.
