The book coversall major transportation modes and puts the American security system into perspective against other national and international systems. Author R.

Pressezitat
"This well-written book reflects in-depth research and planning. It is not a nuts-and-bolts directive on transportation security, but a text that will help readers understand the policies behind measures intended to make travel safe." --Security Management, Protecting Transportation "...this book covers every base, including cyber; and doesn't neglect the truth that security in transport as in any sector has to fit in with the nature of that sector." --Professional Security Magazine Online
"Terrorists target transportation. A useful analysis of the history and current efforts to protect our vital infrastructure." -Thomas Kean, former NJ Governor and Chairman of 9/11 Commission
