Personal freedoms and choice to say is all well and good, but forced evacuations should have been done and the parking lots full of empty buses prove that this can and should have been done had anyone had the temerity to do it. The state of Louisiana and the city of New Orleans should fully implement the NRF/NRP frameworks so as to prepare for the next storm, which will come.

Two Concerns

One issue that predates 9/11 and has gotten both better and worse since then is airport security. Some of the screening tactics and procedures engaged in by the TSA are reassuring but some of them are head-scratching. When grandmothers and infant children are being poked and prodded for bombs or weapons, that is lunacy. Israel is widely condemned for their unapologetic racial profiling, but they simply point to two facts. The first is that most airplane-oriented terrorists are Muslim men in the 18-34 age range and the second is that Israel screens people based on psychosocial techniques as well as racial profiling and they are never hijacked (Weinberger, 2010)(Hasisi, 2011). This would never fly in the United States because the focus on the TSA doing their right includes terrorism events but also includes tertiary topics such as how to screen transgender passengers.

This is not to say that airports should become police states but any airport that allows a person to carry a gun into an airport so long as they do not go beyond the security checkpoint is a bit much. Anybody that is clearly acting nervous or otherwise suspsious should be questioned or monitored. There are just certain lines that should not be crossed. There will be lawsuits and accusations, but patient safety is more important that hurt feelings and demagogic talk, in the views of many (Weinberger, 2010)......
