Getting Anti-Terrorism Technologies Out for Homeland Use - That's Why It's Called the SAFETY Act

Overview Many anti-terrorism technologies already exist. For example, to enable secure information sharing across agencies, new computer technologies can allow varying degrees of network access and can trigger denials, alarms, and even armed responses when unauthorized access occurs. Robots with high-pressure water jets can help first responders neutralize explosives. Construction technologies can mitigate bomb blasts (which is recommended by a National Research Council committee for the commercial building industry). The makers of such technologies have readily made them available to the Department of Defense but have been more hesitant to market such technologies for homeland security applications due to liability risks. This article discusses these technologies with reference to the Homeland Safety Act.
