25 Years After 9/11: How Airport Security Transformed Worldwide
The 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, which killed nearly 3,000 people, led to significant changes in airport security worldwide. The US established the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), centralizing security under federal control. Measures such as reinforced cockpit doors, stricter ID checks, and restrictions on liquids and sharp objects were introduced. Before 9/11, airport security was less stringent, with private contractors handling checks and passengers able to access boarding areas more freely. These changes have shaped modern air travel security protocols.
