Research Paper Topic
The main topic of my research paper will be on Airport Security. I will look into the history of America's airport security and how the security differs from other nations airport security. I will look into the idea of the false sense of security that America's new security gives to passengers and stress the fact that these new security regulations do not make airlines safer then they were years back.

Third Interview
1: Interview Preparations
I approached Faisal after class and asked what country he chose to interview people from. He replied saying he chose to interview people from America. I then proceeded to ask if he was in need of another interviewee and when he said he was we exchanged phone numbers. We chose to meet at 2 pm in the Miller center on November 6th. Upon arrival we reserved a study room to conduct the interview so no one in the library would be disturbed. I used my Galaxy S4 to record the interview.
2: Interview Report
The interview lasted a little over twenty minutes and went smoothly. Most of the questions that was asked were answered with a complete response and typically led to other conversations. During the interview both of us seemed comfortable with the setting and were not nervous to ask questions on what confused one another. One thing that surprised me was when Faisal informed me of how alcohol is considered taboo in Saudi Arabia. I gained a better understanding of the rules Muslim women in Saudi Arabia must follow in regards to dressing appropriately
3: Country Report
In doing a country report on Saudi Arabia I learned that the country has an oil-based economy. The countries main source of income is through the exporting of oil. The main religion that is practiced in Saudi Arabia is Muslim and has a population of around 27 million. (Central Intelligence Agency: the World Factbook). In Ancient times Saudi Arabia was the crossroads for trade. Some items that were often traded were almonds, dates, aromatics, and spices. The deserts of Saudi Arabia provided a natural barrier from ancient powers. The birth of Islam was in the 7th century by the prophet Muhammad. The religion of Islam soon migrated to large portions of the Middle East. King Abdulaziz Al-Saud established the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932 (The History of Saudi Arabia). Education is a requirement for every muslim including both males and females. In the early years of the newly established Saudi Arabia the king presented much interest in establishing a strong education system and increased the amount of schools and universities greatly (Education). During the twenties and thirties marks the discovery of oil in Saudi Arabia created the large oil-based economy (A Brief History of Saudi Arabia)

Second Interview
1: Interview Preparations
I approached Aziz at the end of class and asked which country he chose to select for his interviewees. He stated that he chose the United States, so I asked if he needed another person to interview. After Aziz responding yes we decided on a location and time that would work best to conduct an interview. We decided Monday the 28th of October around the time we normally would have class would work with both of our schedules. We met at 5p.m. in the miller center and reserved a study room to avoid disrupting other students.
2: Interview Report
The interview with Aziz went really well. We both seemed comfortable with the setting of the interview and answered each others questions in detail. We found ourselves talking about certain topics for minutes because we kept asking each other more in depth questions regarding the topic. The interview took 25 minutes to conduct. Overall my interview with Aziz went very well and I learned more about his home country of Saudi Arabia, his family, his religion, and how he feels about St. Cloud State.
