The role of technology is crucial to any adequate assessment of the
terrorist threat and the measures needed to combat it effectively.
Technology and Terrorism fills a huge gap in the literature and
reflects the latest thinking of scientists, technologists and
analysts of terrorism. Among the key questions they address are:
What part has technology played in the causation of terrorism? Have
terrorists been primarily innovative or conservative in their use
of technologies? Does modern technology tilt the balance in favour
of the terrorists in their constant battle to defeat the efforts of
counter-terrorist agencies, or vice versa? How can we assess the
feasibility and probability of terrorists in certain circumstances
resorting to nuclear, chemical or biological weapons? Bearing in
mind that terrorists have already resorted to mass murder in the
form of sabotage bombing of airliners, tragically demonstrated in
the 1988 bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, how effective have
the aviation authorities been in using technology and other
measures to combat this threat? There have been significant
advances in the aviation security policies of Britain, America,
Canada, Australia and several other countries. But what are the
problems involved in strengthening many weak links in the
international aviation security system?
