On the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, four commercial aircraft from the famous two U.S. carriers were used as weapons of mass destruction against the symbols of economic power, military and political U.S. global hegemon and the country until that day had not been an attack on its own territory, at least in the last fifty years.
international security, economics, international relations, the way we mobilize changed after that fateful day. The global air transport as true reflection of reality suffered one of the biggest crises in its history, where the increase in security and costs associated with it, and the consequences for subsequent years, forcing the aviation industry to reorganize itself in every way creating a new concept in air transport which has referred.
A new concept of security in airports and aboard airplanes, as well as higher costs associated with travel by airplane, are part of the new scenario, which after ten years are viewed as natural and proper to the world we live in regardless of whether or not this Wahabbi, a character whom the United States did sign of global terrorism and an "icon of evil" to which there had to be overcome at all costs, I argue that sustained significant part of the occupation of that country in foreign policy.
Today, a few months after the tenth anniversary of that fateful events that momentous changes the political and economic world, the world woke up on Monday with the announcement of the death of Osama Bin Laden.
Despite the celebrations generated after Obama's speech both in the U.S. population as in support of various countries, the political situation in the world soon changes after the leader of Al Qaeda. Precisely because the security or rather the feeling of insecurity persist in the future, perhaps waiting for possible retaliation that nobody knows when. The actors in the international political system you know and after the speech alerts were activated again, showing precisely the persistence of uncertainty instituted ten years ago. In Chile, as part of the international system, the attention also increased, although the competent authority said "the chances of an attack are minimal."
As has been the norm at this time, the global aviation will again be recipient of the consequences of international politics and as such, difficult to see a major shift in modes of travel and security measures to which air transport is subject. More checks at airports, incorporation of new technology for security, restrictions on board, many different procedures and other restrictions, which we have assumed, will continue in the future.
precisely because the death of Bin Laden is broadcast as a new achievement by the United States, victory against the "icon of evil" has an innermost impact within the American political context, which which You can take immediate dividends successful, the big winner of this conflict between East and West created after 11-S, will remain is the Osama, who managed to insert attack the country which was considered the safest in the world and installed throughout the West a restlessness and constant fear unrest and constant fear, where any object can be used as a weapon of destruction, as happened a decade ago when a plane, tool integration and development of nations was used to terrorize them.
