HLS3301 Columbia Southern International Terrorist Organization Discussion

An international terrorist organization has established operations in Mexico and has purchased a well-known crop dusting franchise located in Tamaulipas, Mexico. The purpose of the purchase is to enable the organization to unleash chemical agents against specific targets in the United States. Can the small planes cross the U.S. border undetected as well as penetrate the unsuspecting targets without fear of attack from U.S. defensive measures? What impact would such actions have on future defensive measures by the United States or any other country?

An international terrorist organization is plotting to attack the U.S. Federal Building in Dallas, Texas. The terrorist organization has infiltrated the federal building maintenance and planning department, which has given those personnel access to evacuation plans as well as access to storage areas and transportation inaccessible to the public. The plan is to plant numerous improvised disbursement devices containing mustard gas in the existing central air system throughout the building to not only kill and maim existing personnel and citizenry within the structure but also to encourage a full evacuation of the building. Secondary and tertiary mustard gas devices are to be located not only along the escape routes outside the building, but also in the typical first responder staging areas.

You are a member of the strategic/contingency planning committee for the city of Dallas. How can you design a plan that will prevent such attacks or at least provide the best response to these attacks?
