This paper addresses the domestic measures and policies that have been taken to ensure the continued
safety of American citizens against terrorist organizations. Overt aggression such as the war in Afghanistan
shall not be a
focus of this paper, for while such actions can indeed be termed as a
counter to
terrorism, they are not designed to directly counter terrorism but rather to remove the threat entirely in addition to acting as retribution. A focus shall be on the efficiency of the INS and on airline safety, for these two areas are believed to have been the greatest contributing factors to the events that occurred on September 11th.
