Quetion 1. Good discussion so far again. Now we are talking about other types of threats besides terrorism. What do you think about whether or not organized crime is a threat to domestic businesses?What about large economic crimes such as the fraud committed by Bernie Madoff and discovered a few years ago?
* Are large economic crimes considered domestic threats?
One of the other issues that could be a domestic threat is the reverberation from a terrorist attack.
* How could a terrorist impact the United States' economy - not the attack itself, but its eventual consequences?
Q2. We have discussed the issue of terrorist targeting earlier. One issue is the type of targeting and what is targeted. Terrorism by definition is an issue of making people scared. Is that effect the same if people are not the targets, but infrastructure?
* What types of infrastructures are most critical around the world? (Communication/transportation/etc.)
* Is the energy infrastructure the most viable target for the international terrorist?
