This needs to be no less than 500 words. This is for my security management class.
A contemporary issue faced by all of us today is the threat posed by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and Vehicular-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIEDs).
In this forum, I encourage al of you to engage in a conversation on this topic in a variety of ways. Here are a few discussion-starters:
1. Share with the class a particular incident in the news and discuss the manner of attack, prevention measures, lessons learned, etc.
2. Analyze the particulars of the recent Marriott Hotel bombing in Islamabad, Pakistan. Discuss how another contemporary issue, the use of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), might be used to prevent another such incident at Marriott hotels.
3. Consulting is a growing sub-culture within the security profession. Discuss the opportunities available to those with the requisite expertise who may desire to become consultants specializing in this area of concern.
