What law or which specific group of people has made the decisions leading to the specific ways in which the security at airports have increased since 9/11? Which company (or companies) supply this security (with their contact information)? How much does this cost on a yearly basis? Where does the money come from to pay these companies? To which places can you effectively complain/speak out if you feel like the security is going too far and trampling on civil liberties? Are there any airlines/airports that offer pre-911 security for those who feel comfortable with that? |

If you are asking about The USA, some of the details of the homeland security law were likely written by rich and powerful persons, other details were requested by President Bush and several members of The USA House and Senate. The bill passed and was signed by President George W. Bush. Your suggestions and complaints should be sent to your member of Congress = House and your two Senators. This may be effective as revissions are being considered. Wording should be concise and polite. You might be wise to have several people somewhat sympathetic to your opinion read and make suggestions about wording. Most of the direct costs are bourne by the USA tax payers, indirect costs from airline profits, fare increases and quality of service reductions. My main complaints with Homeland Security are: they need to do more profiling of persons likely to be terrorists, and they are not asking the public to assist, except very passively. Neil |

I don't know about you feeling comfortable with pre-9/11 security; but I'm sure any "evil-doers" out there would feel VERY comfortable with it! |

If you want to look at Europe then both the European Regional Airlines Association and the Association of European Airlines have recently put out press releases based on the added costs that their members face due to the increased security - unlike in the US it's not paid for by the state: http://www.eraa.org/system/id.asp?intid=1390 As for "going back to pre-911 security" I don't think legally (or morally?) you'd get away with it. |

Here's the link to the European Commission's study into "European Civil Aviation Security Financing" - it includes comparisons to the way things are done on the other side of the Pond.... http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/transport/air/safety/studies_en.htm |
