Terrorism Preparedness

Nearly every American resident is touched, appalled, and angered by the tragedies of terrorism. The common thread is terrorism. The constant theme is increased violence, destruction of property, and loss of life. Each attack has taken terrorism to a new level in terms of audacity, mayhem, cost, and human suffering. The problem of terrorism is a difficult one. The terrorist lives among us.  He socializes, works, and moves around with the same freedoms as nearly every American citizen. Terrorists have access to as much information and know as much about our vulnerabilities as nearly any one of us— more than most because they have been studying our weaknesses.
