Globalization is affecting most everything in the world today by mixing cultures, beliefs, people, and ideas together in the melting pot of society. Since terrorism has taken the impact of globalization it is leaving the world in a war of terror and a desperate effort to unite against the growing terrorist groups. After the numerous, tragic world wide events stemmed by terrorism such as: 9/11, bombing of the London subway, and the Beslan school hostage crisis, the world has vastly changed its’ mentality of dealing with the future. The globe is forced to unite against an emerging threat, and is conjointly cutting funding for terrorism through decreasing various purchases of oil and other items from organizations aiding terrorist groups such as illegal drug traders. Alongside with diminishing financial resources for the terrorist groups, the allied regions are working against countries that continue to harbor terrorists and provide them with their land as a safe haven by uniting against the terrorist sheltering countries. The nations working against terrorism, especially the United States of America, are reforming security in airports of passengers and cargo, also enhancing technology to detect bomb like substances, guns, and nuclear/radiological items in airport cargo, airport passengers, world trade, sea containers, and all other possible entries of weaponry for terroristic attacks. The goal for ending terrorism and the war on terror is to cut away terrorists’ necessary needs, unite nations against them, prohibit the harboring of terrorists in enemy countries, and to be a step ahead in security to prevent further terroristic attacks.

This paper describes our nation and the worlds mindset about airline terrorism before 9/11 and airline terrorism today. This remains a very real and deadly subject even though we don’t have as many incidents occurring at this moment in time. Still the potential for countless lives being lost in an aircraft accident from the actions of a terrorist or terrorist organization is still very real and innocent families across this nation and abroad remain the targets. Additionally, it will show that the security measures in place at airports prior to 9/11 were far less adequate, than today, and personnel responsible for airport security at the gates and throughout were either poorly trained or not trained at all when it came to hijackers and terrorist. This paper will also identify the extensive security measures, rules and training that have been put into place, which helped to curtail acts of terrorism onboard airliners.

The threat of global terrorism continues to rise with the total number of deaths reaching 32,685 in 2015, which is an 80 percent increase from 2014 (Global Index). With this said, terrorism remains a growing, and violent phenomenon that has dominated global debates. However, ‘terrorism’ remains a highly contested term; there is no global agreement on exactly what constitutes a terror act. An even more contested concept is whether to broaden the scope of terrorism to include non-state and state actors.
