The American Board for Homeland Security (ABCHS)Retail and Terrorism - Inside Homeland Security Fall 08 Issue


Category: Information Security and Computer Forensics

Retail, the second-largest industry in the US, generates $3.8 trillion in annual revenues and employs 12% of the American workforce. The retail industry fuels our economy, supplies our nation, and represents the very heart of capitalism and everything extremist groups hate about Americans and our way of life. Not only would a successful attack in a densely populated retail environment represent a symbolic blow to the Western way of life, it would also cause significant disruption to the US economy. It would create fear among consumers and slow retail sales. The iconic status of large and successful retail companies fuels terrorists’ desires to inflict destruction on them individually or collectively, and by disrupting the retail environment it could affect the public’s ability to access essential medication, food, and supplies.

Perhaps one of the most prolific images that comes to mind when one thinks of a terrorist, is that of an uneducated and misguided idealist armed with an assault rifle, RPG, or some other explosive device wrapped and wired to his or her waist. While this image does reflect a few general descriptions that are frequently accurate with a terrorist, there is one major misconception, not all terrorists are uneducated. In fact, the reality is that many of the well-known terrorists or persons affiliated with terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda are actually highly educated.
