The Problem: Terrorism In The World

Terrorism, which has been around for as long as people can remember, has

been on the rise for the past ten years. Terrorists use murder, kidnapping,

hijacking, and bombings to almost always achieve a political purpose. These

radicals are not just subject to the United States, terrorism is all over the

world, in every way, shape and form.

There are many different types of terrorism, for many different purposes.

The primary reason for terrorist acts are to force a change in their nation’s

government. If terrorists are not satisfied with there government’s political

positions, they may end up taking the matters into there own hands. Another

reason for terrorist acts are because of hate towards a race, nationality, or

religion. For example, in 1972 the Palestine Liberation Organization invaded

Israeli dorms in the Munich Olympics, and held the Israeli athletes hostage

until Israel would agree to release Palestinian terrorists that were captured in

Israel. When Israel refused to comply with the terrorists demands, they blew up

two helicopters which held the Israeli athletes, killing the whole team. This

was one of the many cruel types of terrorism. In recent years, terrorism seems

to be at a new high and attacks are more violent than in the past.

With terrorism being so secretive and having no forewarning, it has been

a real problem to deal with. The governments of many countries have tried to

stop these cowardly acts, but they just seem to be on the rise. I have a few

ideas that might work

Solution:

Since there are no fool-proof ways to predict when a terrorist will

strike next, there can really be no complete answer to this problem. Even

though there is no way to totally eliminate terrorism, my solutions may still

prove valid.

With the bombing of the World Trade Center, and the federal building in

Oklahoma, rental moving trucks have been used to hold the bomb. An idea I have

for this type of attack, would be to take a still photograph or a video tape of

the people who rent the trucks, along with there Social Security numbers. I

Would have installed in every rental truck an electronic fume detector that

could be tied into a national satellite network, to let investigators know what

kind of materials the truck is carrying. For example, if the truck was carrying

dynamite, the sensor would relay the message to the satellite that this truck is

carrying hazardous material. In turn, the dispatchers could send the message to

the Federal Bureau of Investigations who then would send the bomb squad to the

location of the truck, and arrest the individuals driving and defuse the bomb.

It seems as though terrorists choose to place the bombs in parking

garages below or inside buildings. Another idea I have for this is to screen

all vehicles entering government buildings that may be a target for an attack.

This in itself might make terrorists more leery about entering a building

carrying any type of explosive device. The use of metal detectors on people

entering government buildings along with dogs that can sniff out bombs in

vehicles can also help the situation.

One of the most lethal types of terrorist attack are hijackings on

planes. There have been a number of hijackings, which then lead to a bombing of

the plane in midair. In 1986, a Pan-American Boeing 747 airplane blew up in

midair killing all passengers aboard. One of the leading terrorist groups took

responsibility for this action. Again in the late 1980’s a Transworld airline

flight was hijacked and made several stops before commandos rushed the plane and

killed some of the terrorists. Unfortunately, the terrorists had taken several

lives on the plane and even dumped one of the passengers that they had killed,

out of the plane onto the tarmac. One of the problems with these type of

terrorists is that, it is too easy to get a bomb into the baggage section, under

the plane. This is easy for them, because unlike carry-on luggage, the actual

luggage is not X-rayed for contraband. Some of these bombs work off of a timer

and ignite the bomb to blow up at a pre-determined time. Another type of bomb

works off of the altitude of the plane. Once the plane reaches the set altitude,

the bomb will explode. I suggest that the actual luggage should be scanned for

explosives that would be dangerous to the passengers. Since the only luggage

that is scanned at this time is the carry-on luggage, and individuals that go

through the metal detectors. I recommend that all luggage being loaded in the

belly of the aircraft, also go through a metal detector being scanned by trained

eyes. This would prevent any bombs from being loaded onto the plane.

Another type of plane bombing is called the .Suicide Bomber., this is a

terrorist
