London bomb a reminder anyone everyone can play role
By WDavidStephenson | June 30, 2007
It was an ambulance crew tending to its primary responsibilities who first detected the smoke in a parked Mercedes and thereby avoided an horrific explosion. That’s a reminder that anyone, not just the police, may be the one to detect a potential terrorist attack in the making.
However, to do that we need the kind of substantive, interactive online education provided by Pennsylvania’s Terrorism Awareness and Protection program
By contrast, can you find anything on DHS’ Ready.gov site, or the FBI’s tip one (who’s cluelessness I’ve been harping on for years) that would give you any idea at all about what to look for that really might be helpful to authorities??
The feds give lipservice to public awareness and involvement, but that’s it.
