A Look at How Airport Security Has Evolved Post 9-11
On September 10, 2001, anyone – even those who weren’t flying out – could come to the airport and pass through the security checkpoint to enter the secure area. At the checkpoint, screeners employed by private companies hired by the airlines scanned carry-on bags. Anyone passing through the checkpoint could do so without taking off shoes, belts, and outerwear or removing items from their carry-ons. Liquids, gels and aerosols in any quantity could be brought through the checkpoint.
