The major and most notable change is something called the TSA. If you don't know what TSA stands for and are wondering what is the TSA then let us tell you. TSA stands for Transportation Security Administration. It was created in 2002 to deal with the events that transpired on 9/11. The main purpose of the TSA is to protect travelers and strengthen the security measures of the transportation systems in America. The TSA is in place to make sure you get from your New York home to your Bobcaygeon cottages safe and soundly.

If you haven't flown for a long period of time you will more than likely be surprised by some of the implementations that came about because of the TSA when you're at the airport catching a flight to take you to Niagara Falls hotels in Canada.

One very startling change you will see are the security check-in agents you'll see that greet you once you're in line waiting to get to your scheduled departure gate. They're actually called Behavior Detection Officers and their main duty is to watch the behavior of all passengers who go through security checkpoints. They have the power to stop any traveler at their discretion and ask them questions, do a background check or search them. This is done to protect national security, although, some passengers feel that their civil liberties are being taken away from them.

The theme that seems to be coming about from the TSA is strict discipline. Ever since 9/11 nothing is being taken for granted. If the government is willing to spend over $8 billion dollars a year to implement the TSA then travelers will have to put up with searches and long lines if it means reducing the risk of any terrorist threats. After all, your waterfront condos in Toronto will always be there for you.
