Book Description
A comprehensive guide to understanding, assessing, and responding to terrorism in this modern age This book provides readers with a thorough understanding of the types of attacks that may be perpetrated, and how to identify potential targets, conduct a meaningful vulnerability analysis, and apply protective measures to secure personnel and facilities. The new edition of Understanding, Assessing, and Responding to Terrorism updates existing material and includes several new topics that have emerged, including information on new international terrorist groups as well as a new chapter on Regulations and Standards. A vulnerability analysis methodology, consisting of several steps—which include the techniques necessary to conduct a vulnerability analysis—is introduced and applied through several sample scenarios. By using easily customized templates for the screening process, valuation of a critical asset as a target, vulnerability analysis, security procedures, emergency response procedures, and training programs, the book offers a practical step-by-step process to help reduce risk. Each different type of terrorism is briefly discussed—however, the book focuses on those potential attacks that may involve weapons of mass destruction. There is a discussion of what physical and administrative enhancements can be implemented to improve a facility's ability to devalue, detect, deter, deny, delay, defend, respond, and recover to a real or threatened terrorist attack—whether it be at a facility, or in the community. Techniques on how personnel safety and security can be improved through the implementation of counter-terrorism programs are also outlined. An overview of the major counter-terrorism regulations and standards are presented, along with the significant governmental efforts that have been implemented to help prevent terrorist attacks and foster preparedness at both private and public sector facilities and for personnel. Understanding, Assessing, and Responding to Terrorism, Second Edition: Updates existing material, plus includes several new topics that have emerged including information on new international terrorist groups, new terrorist tactics, cyber terrorism, and Regulations and Standards Outlines techniques for improving facility and personnel safety and security through the implementation of counter-terrorism programs Unites the emergency response/public sector community with the private sector over infrastructure protection, thus allowing for easier communication between them Includes questions/exercises at the end of each chapter and a solutions manual to facilitate its use as a textbook Understanding, Assessing, and Responding to Terrorism, Second Edition is a must-have reference for private and public sector risk managers, safety engineers, security professionals, facility managers, emergency responders, and others charged with protecting facilities and personnel from all types of hazards (accidental, intentional, and natural).

Book Description
There have been a series of security breaches in which loaded weapons were brought onto commercial airplanes unbeknownst to TSA and airport officials, calling in question airport access control measures and employee vetting procedures. These alarming incidents could have had devastating consequences if those involved had intended to carry out attacks. TSA spends billions of dollars every year to ensure every passenger is screened before boarding a commercial flight. However, we must ask ourselves: What good is all the screening at the front door if we are not paying attention enough at the back door? On December 23, 2014, Federal agents arrested Eugene Harvey, a Delta baggage handler at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta and charged him with trafficking in firearms and violating security agreements-requirements. On January 13, 2015, Port Authority police in New York City arrested a Federal Aviation Administration official at LaGuardia Airport after he flew with a loaded firearm on a Delta flight from Atlanta to LaGuardia. On January 24, 2015, the FBI arrested another Delta employee at Atlanta airport for boarding a flight to Paris without first being screened. These problems are not unique to just one airport. Every case presents unique challenges and opportunities for TSA, the airports, the airlines, and other partners to strengthen their security protocols.
