| Abstract: | There are several paths of terror at seaports, terminals, inland waterways, and pipelines for entry of persons, materials, and weapons and for access to destroy seaport infrastructure, ships, equipment, and people so as to disrupt economic activity. This research seeks to: - 1 Examine the probability of terror events via these paths and to determine a strategy to create barriers to entry and access, and to ensure the likelihood of these events is near zero.
- 2 Identify specific actions taken, and by whom, to accomplish the above objective, considering interacting government levels and public–private partnerships.
- 3 Suggest apparent inaction where a probability of terror remains, albeit judged more qualitatively than quantitatively.
The need for secrecy and the reality of erroneous public information complicates the task of researcher and terrorist alike. |
