In this argumentative essay we show how airport security is not an invasion of privacy but only necessary precautions. In the United States it is clear that we do not take terrorism lightly: we have had many incidents that have had a very negative impact on the way we handle things. Even if it seems that things have become more strict or even that these procedures are an invasion of privacy, considering the circumstances it is very reasonable. People talk about airport security as if it always has something to do with body scanners or how people hear about them. The body scanner is a new device that simply scans a passenger's body. This doesn't sound bad, but what makes it such a problem is the fact that security can see every little part of a person's body. It shows really specific things, but doesn't go too deep, like showing your private parts. No one ever seems to touch on the topic of more jobs for citizens or racial profiling. Airport security brings great controversy to many people in the United States, even around the world. This can help or ruin society as a whole, which is why something needs to be done. There was a time in society when there weren't as many worries at airports or even just in general as there are now. These problems are killing society as a whole and should be stopped in every way possible. In reality there is no solution to this problem because the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) does not take people's opinions into consideration. This administration is responsible for every single airport in the United States. No one really knows what will happen to airport security in the future, but everyone knows that there has been and probably… half of the paper… there would be security if their airport introduced all this technical stuff to keep terrorists out. In reality, everyone would feel safer if it were possible to keep terrorists away. Any person with common sense could say that it is virtually impossible to keep certain people away unless America puts itself in a box and hides from everyone, which is definitely impossible.
