Design and Evaluation of Physical Protection Systems (2^nd edition)

by Mary Lynn Garcia, Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM

The second edition includes updated references to security expectations and changes since 9/11. The threat chapter includes references to new threat capabilities in weapons of mass destruction, and a new figure on hate crime groups in the U.S. All the technology chapters have been reviewed and updated to include technology in use since 2001. Garcia also has added a new chapter that shows how the methodology described in the book is applied in transportation systems.
