Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words. In the first part of the DB you will discuss three major DHS missions; borders, transportation, and critical infrastructure. The second part is a fun exercise where you speculate on a science fiction technology and how it might be effective in combating terrorism. Think to science fiction movies or books for ideas
Part 1
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Protection Missions include the following:
• Borders
• Transportation
• Critical infrastructure
In 100–200 words, answer each of the following questions:
• Of these 3 missions, which do you think is most important, and why?
• Of these 3 missions, which do you think is most difficult to accomplish, and why?
• Of these 3 missions, which do you think DHS does best, and why?
Part 2
Science fiction may seem to have the sole purpose of providing entertainment and enjoyment to readers, viewers, or listeners; however, it also has the potential to serve as inspiration. What science-fiction technology do you think would be most effective in combating terrorism? Address the following points in your answer:
• Describe the technology.
• What problem does it solve?
• How does it solve the problem?
• What are potential side effects? (i.e., What other problems does it introduce?)
