The less people, the less risk of something going wrong. Some issues that may occur may include; a fault detonation system, one of our gunman may be noticed and arrested before the attack is set to occur, the guns become jammed and do not fire, or a getaway car may break down. While there is a certain amount of risk involved in to reach our goal. We are not scared or willing to back down. We plan for success and will not be daunted by extra security. If the bomb does not detonate we will continue with our mass shootings. If a gunman is noticed before the shooting, we will inform the other gunman to take action right then. If a gun does not fire, we advise our gunman to take cover and get out of the building as fast as possible. If a getaway car breaks down or does not start our accomplices have been informed to take cover and notify…

Since the events of the Newtown School Shooting and the Boston Marathon Bombing both cities have rebuilt themselves after suffering attacks in 2012 and 2013 that shook the cities and took the lives of many. As the responsible party of any facility or public event security planning and practice plays a vital part in a city subject to future acts of selfless acts of crimes or acts of terrorism. Societal structures, such as schools, malls and churches, are key elements of American lifestyles. Public events such as concerts, marathons, or parades, host millions of people at any given time making them subjective to mass terrorist attacks. Terrorist groups focus on creating organized chaos and inflicting major damage on areas and people. Like the events of September 11th, terrorist events are not always in a particular area at a particular time. This was shown to be true with past events such as the Newton School Shootings and the Boston Marathon Shooting.…
Ever since 9/11, airport, and many important building’s security has become a hassle for all. Passengers must go through great lengths of security, which includes the checking of all carry-on bags, removal of shoes and metal objects, and passing through a high-tech body scanner, which can detect any weapons or explosives someone may have. Though this process can take hours, it is necessary to have maximum security. This process is similar to the ones in important buildings, such as the Empire State Building, The White House, and the United States Capitol. Though the security is a bother, it is needed in order for maximum security in all areas people with malicious intentions could target.…
One main reason that a Homeland Security Assessment needs to be conducted for an organization is to protect their infrastructure. The need for this assessment would be more crucial if an organization was identified as a high risk of being a potential target. Organizations that would fall under this umbrella would include but are not limited to “sea and water ports, airports, gas pipelines, sewer and power plants as well as biological or chemical facilities” (Fisher, 2014). In this day and time, we can also add educational facilities to this list, as there have been several attacks on universities that were believed to have been terrorist related.…

A disaster recovery plan is an HIPPA security standard and its objectives are to establish policies and procedures for responding to an emergency (vandalism, system failure, and natural disaster) that may damage or interrupt systems that contain PHI. In brief, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, commonly known as HIPAA, was enacted on August 21, 1996, by the United States Congress and signed President Bill Clinton. HIPPA regulates national standards to protect individuals’ health information that is created, received, used, or maintained by a healthcare industry and non-healthcare industries.…
An act of terrorism carried out by the group, Al Qaeda, destroyed the lives of thousands of people. Although disasters such as the one that occurred on September 11, 2001 cannot necessarily be prevented, people can prepare for them as they would any other emergencies.

By reading the book, the readers can tell that there were many issues with planning inside the World Trade Center which created more problems throughout the catastrophe. Due to the fact that not enough…
