1SOCIAL STUDIESIntroductionThere have been many controversies between the priorities over two very importantthings and those are collective security and the privacy rights. This controversy can be betterseen in the airport security in different cities. The common believed notion is the fact that theprivacy rights of a person are more important than the entire collective security. It has been seenmultiple times that the terrorists export and import weapons and the smugglers do the same withthe prohibited drugs. In this paper, the controversy between these two facts will be discussedproperly indeed. It would require much research on the privacy rights and collective security atthe airport.Collective security at airportThe airports are considered to be very sensible places as millions of people come and gofrom one city to other. This is the reason the collective security has been tightened in the airportsof the big cities. The incident of 9/11 has shown that the terrorists had captured the airplanes andcrashed the World Trade Center to dust completely in the year 2001. This is the very reason oftightening the airport security in the big cities. The main purpose of tightening this security is tokeep the common people safe.1The USA congress had passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act as they didnot want to take any more risks regarding that. They had also set up the Transportation SecurityAdministration (TSA).2 They had employed the federal employees to take over the charge of theairport security. There are some methods by which the collective security measures are taken in1Ashford, Norman, Pierre Coutu, and John Beasley.

These things sometimes become to be very muchharassing for some of the passengers. Some of them even feel that their privacy rights have beeninterfered.5 This is why they raise the prominent questions about the security checking at theairports. This factor really needs to be highlighted as instances have been found when thesecurity often harasses and embarrasses some dignified people from other countries in the nameof security checking.6Privacy rights at airports3Cardwell, Diane.
