ABSA Biosecurity Task Force White Paper: Understanding Biosecurity

Overview As a discipline, biosecurity has been evolving at institutes and across various agencies and industries in an independent manner. Over the past decade questions have arisen regarding the adequacy of security at biomedical institutes and facilities that work with, store, or transport pathogens and toxins. As an extremist demonstrated he could procure pathogens "for private use" by phone, and it is possible that an individual with access to a biological research facility may be the perpetrator of the recent anthrax letter attacks, legislation has been passed to increase security at facilities working with, storing or transporting pathogens and toxins.
