Technology-Preventing Terrorism

Technology- preventing terrorists? “While reliance on human intelligence is essential, it is technology that will help law enforcement agencies to detect, analyze and effectively eliminate terror attacks” (Naik,2009).

So, in response to this crisis, law enforcement officials are upgrading and improving their techniques, developing new technological tools and security measures to be able to surpass the terrorists. As shown throughout the years, the United states have stopped any other 9/11 type of attack by updating their technologies. They used various methods — border monitoring, airport security, legislation, and many others. So, for the United states and another country, the use of technology is the most effective way of capturing terrorist attacks or activities. The result which is shown for everyone has been that after the terrorist act of 9/11, the United states has not experienced any other big terror attack. “If any other nation has to prevent further attacks, it just cannot rely upon human
