B- Weapons of Mass Destruction 4-hrs Training (Lesson 10 of 18)
Things to Think About:
- What are three ways in which a terrorist organization might try to recruit members at your workplace?
- Holding political rallies
- Using email to push their point of view
- Holding secretive meetings
- Is there anything a terrorist could steal from your workplace that he could sell to make money? (The Answers depend on the workplace)
- Autos or other vehicles
- Financial instruments
- Pharmaceuticals (to sell on the illegal market)
- Art, etc.
- Under what circumstances would vehicles at your workplace, such as bicycles, cars, trucks, helicopters, or boats, make you suspicious?
- Parked in unusual places
- Out-of-the-ordinary size or apparent weight
- Type of vehicle not normal
- Delivery van arriving when no deliveries are scheduled
- Think of ways in which a terrorist might be able to get onto your site without anyone noticing. This could include…
- By appearing in a known uniform (police, UPS, janitorial, etc.)
- By having the key code to the doors
- By blending in (dressing like everyone else)
- By wearing a tool belt
Keep In Mind
- Terrorist organizations always try to recruit more members.
- Terrorist organizations never have all the money they will ever need.
- A bomb is the most common terrorist weapon.
- A terrorist attack is especially likely on a day of national significance.
- A potential terrorist can gain access to a secure site by impersonating a security officer.
- Terrorists need to “case the joint” or conduct surveillance of their target.
- To move their weapons into place, a terrorist does not always need something huge, like an airplane.
- After the attack, the terrorists need to escape, unless it is a suicide attack.
