The Transportation of Hazardous Materials After September 11: Issues and Developments
Overview Shortly after the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, Attorney General John Ashcroft announced that twenty people had been arrested and charged with fraudulently obtaining licenses to haul hazardous waste materials. These arrests resulted from the arrest of a man who had recently obtained a permit to haul hazardous waste and who was suspected of having ties to an associate of Osama Bin Laden. In light of these events, the Federal Bureau of Investigation warned state and local law enforcement authorities and the American Trucking Association to watch for anything suspicious regarding haulers of hazardous waste, biological agents and other hazardous materials.
