 * Bill Number: ** HB 92
 * Sponsers: ** IPollack (R-PA) & KBerryhill (R-GA)
 * Issue: ** Homeland Security


 * Title: ** P. A. F. T. (Protect America from Threats)


 * Purpose: ** To keep America as safe as possible, and keep all terrorists out of our country.


 * Eligibility: ** This bill applies to the any person in the United States


 * Terms and Benifits: ** Ever since 9-11, America has changed. The Threat Advisory Level has been raised to ELEVATED which means there is more security in Washington DC, on planes, and around other places with a lot of people. But, has it helped at all? Are we still threatened by terrorist groups? The answer is yes, we still have major issues with our country's security. This bill will add more security to our airlines, major transportation systems, major cities, and the entire perimeter of our country. There will by Active Duty Military stationed at the coasts and borders of the United States. 9% of fatal accidents on airplanes have happened because of sabatoge and acts of terrorism. There will be a full body scanner at each of the 5000 airports with paved runways in our country AS WELL THOSE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS WITH FLIGHTS TO THE UNITED STATES. Our bill creates a website that allows normal United States citizens to see a list and photo of people that have expired visas, and could be a potential terrorist threat. When a visitor comes into America, they are registered at the airport or state they come into, and are put into a system of computers. There is an office in each state staffed by ten people that monitor the whereabouts of visitors in the U.S. on visas. If any citizen recognizes one or more of the people on the website, they can report to the local office, and the staff will follow up on the citizen's tip. This will limit the number of potential threats by having every citizen involved in the safety of our country. If any person in the country is found to be a terrorist, they will go through a military court trial. If they are a citizen, they will be charged with treason. These should be the solutions to our country's security issues.
