AIRLINE PASSENGER SCREENING HAS BECOME A FEMA-TYPE SNAFU: The Screening System Developed During 1969-70 Holds The Key
To Refocusing On Modern Day Terrorism

by David H. Brown
AuthorHouse (June 22, 2006)


This sequel takes up where the NINE/ELEVEN left off. The book is a look back at the five years since 9/11 and finds too much has gone wrong with too little effect. It also notes the unnecessary humiliating of innocent passengers when there is a more effective way to screen airline passengers. This is discussed at length in Chapter 27, "What Needs To Be Done." And, the book also goes more into terrorism at large.

This book employs a technique of an imaginary interviewer asking questions and author David H. Brown answering.
