The attack reminded Americans that terrorism in the homeland did not disappear in 2001 with the 9/11 attacks.
The reaction to the bombings in relation to the issue of gun violence left some foreigners scratching their heads.
One London journalist wrote that there had been a "collective freak-out" as Americans allowed themselves to be "easily and willingly cowed by the 'threat' of terrorism" while random gun violence went on unchecked

What do you think about regulation of the aviation sector and what challenges hampers its operations?
In the years 2005 and 2006 there were far too many incidents of domestic airline crashes. The Federal Government kicked into action and as a result, a number of significant milestones were achieved. The 2006 civil aviation act was passed into law, government produced a formidable policy document focused on safety, the management of the regulatory authorities particularly the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority was overhauled and manned by seasoned aviation experts. The results were commendable, namely; 93 percent safety record between 2006 and 2017, achieving category 1 status and most scheduled airlines are IOSA certified. Whilst a number of new domestic airlines have since entered the market just as many, if not more, have been forced to exit due to inability to service overwhelming debts to the banks. Nigeria’s domestic airlines are constantly plague by a myriad of regulatory challenges. The issue of the five percent ticket sales charge, the high cost and insufficient supply of Jet A1 fuel, multiple government charges, the decay in infrastructure and the most recent exchange rate debacle are some of the difficulties being experienced by the airlines. There is a real need for Government to produce a firm policy for the benefit of aviation industry.

What is the objective of the Nigeria Bar Association’s Section on Business Law Aviation Committee conference?
