Strategic Security Planning, Management & Training

The Threat Environment

Civil transportation infrastructures, including airports and seaports, have proven to be irresistible targets for terrorists, owing to the massive publicity and fear that such attacks generate. These outrages have included hijackings, infiltration of bombs onto aircraft, bombing of ships, and the September 11th suicide attacks. The increasing innovation, sophistication and destructive potential of modern terrorists (armed with conventional, as well as Chemical, Biological and Radiological weapons) means that we must continually monitor these threats and remain vigilant. It is no secret that modern detection technologies become less effective when used in a busy environment and/or in an automated mode.
