I ’ ve been following terrorist attacks for quite some time now and after each one look back and try to analyze what occurred and why , and if anything could have been done differently to affect the outcome .
The modern era of terrorism , generally speaking , is considered to have started with the 1972 Munich Olympic attack . Throughout the 70 ’ s we saw a series of hi-jacking ’ s which eventually led to stricter security standards for the airline industry . In the 80 ’ s , 90 ’ s and early 2000 ’ s terrorist attacks took on a variety of formats . And really little has changed in the way we reacted . Sure there ’ s the DHS , “ see something , say something ” campaign but outside of that – what ?
Unfortunately , in the last few years ’ active shooter incidents , either inspired by Islamic-radicalization or not , have taken place . After the enormous loss of life at the Virginia Tech massacre , the notion for first responders to wait until reinforcements arrived changed .
