PART N (contd.)

have been observed taking photographs and making sketches of the site, yet security

personnel hadn't felt it important to stop or question them. Some terrorist devices such as

vehicles containing explosive devices had even been cited for parking in a "No Parking

Zone" yet they had not investigated or determined its ownership. Remember, a terrorist

will not usually attack unless they believe that their operation will be 100% successful.

Terrorists want media coverage to ensure that many people know about their activities.

Some will even telephone the media just prior to, or even from their target, after they

have taken control. That is why they select high-visibility targets and attempt to do

maximum damage. They want a "High Body Count." Terrorists hope that attention will

increase the public's fear, cause a planned government reaction, or attract sympathy to

their cause.

While you cannot prevent deranged individuals and fanatics from plotting against their

targets, the security guard can minimize the terrorists' efforts with solid preparation and

by just doing the job they have been paid to do. Whether a threat or an actual attack, it is

the security guard who is on the front line. They are usually the first to arrive at the

scene; to size up (observe) the situation; the first to request (report) the necessary

emergency response; the first to take control of the situation; the first to administer first

aid until the emergency agencies arrive; and the first to advise the responding agencies of

the specific details of the situation.

COUNTER TERRORIST TECHNIQUES OF PHYSICAL SECURITY

�� Deter - Deterring terrorists activity by the hardening of the target, so that the terrorist

does not have a 100% chance of success. They include the following: checking

identifications, packages, and vehicles before they enter a secured area, making patrols or

routes of travel unpredictable, and maintaining confidentiality.

�� Delay - The use of barriers, locks, a response force, and the controlling of vehicular

access.

�� Deny - Deny the terrorists the use of widespread panic and media leverage, which they

attempt to exploit.

�� Detect - Detection of terrorist activity can be accomplished through the analysis of threat

intelligence. It can also occur by conducting entry searches, using detection equipment

(x-ray, metal explosive), and closed circuit television.
