Terrorism in the U.S has been growing through these couple of years. On Christmas day, a Nigerian got on a jetliner and ignited an explosive but failed and set himself on fire. President Obama told the Homeland Security Department to speed up the installation of advance-tech equipment to screen passengers for example body scanner in U.S airports. Also, have international airports upgrade the equipment to protect passengers going the U.S. Obama told the department to make it more difficult for people that have connections to terrorism to receive them and making it easier to take the visas away. Law enforcement officers are being train to be on most of the flights that take place in the U.S. President Obama has expanded the criteria for adding people to the terrorism watch lists. The government's counterattack idea was easily caught off guard by an Al-Qaida group in Yemen. Analysts are helping Obama for a solution in these terrorist attacks. The attack that happen on Christmas day, might have failed but it also gave the United States more information on which countries could have people that are a part of Al-Qaida. With the new information they can add Yemen into the no-fly list and gave info on the man who try to bomb the plane, had a visa to visit the U.S which can mean that anyone could be a bomber and all they need is a visa to the U.S.
