Legislation signed into law by President George W. Bush just two months after the 9/11 attacks created the Transportation Security Administration, federalizing a security system that had mostly been a patchwork of private security firms. The act brought with it the enhanced airport security apparatus we still have today. But over the past quarter century, advances in technology have also helped ease some of the restrictions rolled out after 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four airliners.Laura Figueroa Hernandez reports in NEWSDAY that with a mandate of "protecting air, land and rail transportation against terrorist threats, sabotage and other acts of violence," legislation creating the Transportation Security Administration was officially signed into law on November 19, 2001, by President Bush.No longer would airport security be run by different private security firms hired by each airline operating out of an airport. The TSA would also create a universal list of banned items including box cutters, knives and sharp scissors after learning the terrorists used such weapons to attack people aboard the planes.The TSA also required all bags loaded onto a plane to go through X-ray and scanning machines."There's no question that aviation safety and our kind of terrorist policy posture, our approach to terrorism, shifted completely after 9/11, shifted from a more kind of reactive model to a more proactive model," said Corri Zoli, an instructor and researcher with Syracuse University’s Forensic and National Security Sciences Institute.To speed up the screening process, a number of U.S. airports have started to use biometric scanning machines that immediately match a person's photo ID with a camera scan of their face to ensure a traveler's identity, versus having a TSA officer do their own visual check. However, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle and civil rights groups have raised concerns about the further expansion of biometric use without guardrails for how data is stored and protected from cyberhackers.Asked about the current state of travel security, Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-Bayport), the current chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said in a statement to Newsday that as head of the committee his focus is "making sure TSA has the tools and resources it needs to stay ahead" of changing threats. "Americans are safer flying today than we were 25 years ago," Garbarino said. "But the threats we face continue to evolve."***The Southampton Town Planning Board has scheduled a Public Hearing at 6:00 o’clock this evening in the Town Board Room.One contentious matter on the agenda is Long Springs Farm, a historic 21.7-acre estate at 437 North Sea Mecox Road in the North Sea hamlet of Southampton Town. Originally built in 1913, the main farmhouse features classic covered porches and sits on an elevated terrain overlooking rolling meadows, sun-filled fields, and a series of spring-fed freshwater ponds and streams.The property acts as a critical ecological buffer zone, directly abutting 62 acres of vacant, protected Suffolk County parkland to its west, making it a highly valued environmental and scenic asset to the local community.The Long Springs Farm development project by Kamicutico LLC appears on the Southampton Town Planning Board agenda for preliminary subdivision review at this evening’s 6:00 PM public hearing in the Town Board Room to gather community feedback regarding the future of this property in North Sea.***In remembrance of those who died and served nobly in response to the attacks on September 11, 2001, there are ceremonies across the east end tomorrow including in Southampton Village.Amy Zavatto reports on Southforker.com that Southampton Town Department of Public Safety places 343 mini American flags annually in front of the lawn of the Southampton Town Hall to honor the number of firefighters lost in attack. Tomorrow morning at 8:15 a.m., the Southampton Fire Department is holding a memorial service, sounding a siren at 8:46, 9:03 when Mayor Bill Manger and Chief Polis Walker will also speak, 9:47, 9:59, 10:03 and 10:28 a.m. respectively to note the key moments of attacks and tower collapses.Also, sirens will be heard by locals as fire departments across the East End will be sounding their horns and sirens between 8:46 a.m. and 10:28 a.m., marking the exact moments when the Twin Towers were each struck and fell, when the Pentagon was struck and the time that Flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, Penn.***The owners of the Green Thumb organic farmstand in Water Mill have agreed to sell the development rights on a section of the farmland that supplies their stand to Southampton Town in a deal that would require the land to be used exclusively for food crops and actively farmed in perpetuity.Michael Wright reports on 27east.com that the four Halsey family siblings who own the farmland off Deerfield Road — just a few hundred yards from the farmstand across Montauk Highway — will ...
