Analyzing Terrorist Successes and Failures
Schneier on Security reviews a Homeland Security analysis in his post Why Some Terrorist Attacks Succeed and Others Fail. In part:
I especially like this quote, which echos what I’ve been saying for a long time now:
One phenomenon stands out: terrorists are rarely caught in the act during the execution phase of an operation, other than instances in which their equipment or weapons fail. Rather, plots are most often foiled during the pre-execution phases.
Intelligence, investigation, and emergency response: that’s where we should be spending our counterterrorism dollar. Defending the targets is rarely the right answer.
