Homeland Security

Select ONE of the CBRN categories, then pick ONE particular agent from that category and based on our readings this term, place yourself in the role of a terrorist and offer your perspective of how a terrorist event could be conducted in your hometown, then provide your perspective on how to prevent such an attack and support your work by a variety of academic material to give your opinion more validity.  

Your work should consist of (I encourage you to use these as section headings):

• Introduction (this will have a well-defined purpose statement in your intro paragraph that provides guidance to the reader about what you are going to cover in your paper.)
• Selected CBRN Agent background
• Proposed Terrorist Scenario
• Prevention Strategy(s)
• Conclusion
• References
