Terrorism research 2
You are a senior officer in the U.S. Border Patrol and your intelligence group has received a warning that a terrorist cell is planning to launch an aerial biological attack across the southern borders of the United States, but the information you received does not identify a specific border area crossing point; therefore, you must create a plan to identify all probable entry points along the massive stretch of land that borders along Mexico and the United States. Additionally, you must plan to mitigate any attacks that could occur. Numerous scenarios can be identified, which include attacks by air, land, or by pre-planted improvised explosive devices, as well by other methods designed to release the biological hazard into the air or the local water supply system.

Your job is to identify all possible situations and provide a plan that will efficiently inspect and monitor each threatened area as well as possible sources of attack. Can you simply shut down all small plane traffic in the area? Could the biological hazard already be in place? Could the biological hazard be transported across the border through tunnels? What cities are probable targets for such attacks? What plans can you develop to ensure protection for all these cities? How far north can such attacks penetrate?
Your plan must include identification of all possible scenarios as well as your response plan based on the worst-case scenario providing proper response to the area or areas suffering from the attack as well as how you plan to protect first responders and healthcare facilities during and after the attack.
Also, for this assignment, you must include three sources.
Terrorism research 2
You are the southwest regional homeland security director. You are preparing a scenario for your district to test its effectiveness in response to a chemical attack. You want your chemical and hazardous response team to consider this a live exercise. You are planning targets such as major political and sporting events that are scheduled to take place in open stadiums in Phoenix, Arizona; San Diego, California; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and El Paso, Texas. Considering a radical terrorist cell, what would be their chemical of choice and how would they disburse the chemical to ensure maximum effective coverage? What infrastructure defenses do you believe they need to overcome and what contingencies need to be looked at to ensure all areas are covered?
