Transportation Security
Security issues have now become a common problem nowadays, especially while traveling. Travel modes have become much unsafe due to the frequent reporting of various cases of theft, robbery, murders and even terrorism. Everyone is aware of the tight safety and security conditions at the airports. While traveling by air, a passenger has to pass through many security checks and scans in order to get a security clearance by the Airport Security Forces (Schouten, 2014). There are strict rules and regulations regarding the security conditions at an airport and no passenger is devoid of them, but no such strictness is found while traveling through any modes of public transport, for example, bus, subway, railways or taxis, etc.
The first reason for almost no or very little security in these public transport vehicles and their stations may be the destination. The air travel is mostly used by passengers for traveling out of the country. Air travel is a popular and most common medium for traveling internationally, which is why security protocols are also kept very strict. The airports are regulated by the laws and legislation of international security standards and many things that can be carried inside the city or the state without any fear is not allowed to be taken along during an air journey.
In addition to this, the public transport modes of transportation are much cheaper as compared to air travel, so the airline services want to make sure that the passengers have a safe and secure journey. A passenger can abort the journey at any station, while traveling via public transport, if he or she feels unsafe, but a traveler cannot leave until the journey comes to an end, while traveling through an airplane. So the passengers desire that their journey should be safe and sound.
