  GEN OVERVIEW AND DEFINATION OF SOFT TARGET

  SCHOOLS AS SOFT TARGETS IN THE USA

  SCHOOL TYPES AND THIER CHARTERISITCS AS POTIENTIAL TERRORIST TARGETS
  IN TERMS OF VULNERABILLITY, STRATIGIC VALUE, PUBLIC RELATIONS, MEDIA 
  EXPOSURE..LIST COULD INCLUDE [ ELEM/MIDDLE/HIGH/JR COLL/4 YR COLL OR
  UNIV/TRADE/TECH/POLICE-FIRE-MITLITARY ACAD/ FLIGHT SCHOOLS 
  PUBLIC VRS PRIV FOR ALL THE ABOVE

  KNOWN TERRORIST ATTACKS ON SCHOOLS (FORIEGN AND DOMESTIC) THAT

  KNOWN TERRORIST ATTACKS OF OTHER SOFT TARGETS THAT COULD BE CARRIED
  AGAINST A SCHOOL

  ADDITIONAL IDEAS OF HOW A TERRORIST MIGHT BE ABLE TO ATTACK A SCHOOL OR 
  IN SOME MANOR VICIMIZE A SCHOOL IN ORDER TO FURTHER TERRORIST GOALS
  (HERE IS WHERE CYBER ATTACKS LAUNCHED FROM USE OF SCHOOL RESOURES
  MIGHT BE VALUABELE-OR WHAT ABOUT HACKING INTO SCHOOL RECORDS TO GAIN
  ADDMISSION TO TECH/TRADE-FLIGHT SCHOOL ETC SAME FOR 4 YR UNIV PERHAPS FOR
  VISA- FINNACIAL AIDE SCAMS ETC

  OVERVIEW OF THE ELOULATION OF TRAING AND PREPERATION FOR TERROR ATTACKS
  OVER THE LAST FEW DECADES

  CURRENT LEVEL OF PREPERATION IN ANY FORM BY EACH TYPE OF SCHOOL LISTED 
  ABOVE, HOW DO PREP LEVELS AND THREAT LEVELS ARRY BY THIER INDIDUAL
  CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS GEOGRAPHY-NEAR WATER--NEAR CHEM PLANT-URBAN-RURAL-   LARGE-SMALL-POLICED BY SINGLE LARGE AGENCY OR SMALL-HOSPITAL FACILLITIES  
  AVAIL, IN FLIGHT PATHS-NEAR TRAIN TRACKS-ETC ETC
     
  WHO WOULD NEED TO RESPOND AND WHAT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE I THE EVENT
  OF A TERRORIST ATTACK TO ANY OF THE SCHOOL TYPES INVOLING ANY OF THE
  KNOWN OR POSSIBLE ATTACK FORMS WITH VARIOUS INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL             
  CHARACTERISTICS IN MIND

  CRITIQUE RESPONSE TO ATTACKS ON SCHOOLS THAT HAVE OCCURRED BOTH DOMESTIC
  AND FOREIGN

  WHAT HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT, EMS, MILTARY LEARNED FROM THESE EVENTS
  AND HOW HAVE TATICS AND PROCEDURES BEEN IMPROVED. WHAT ARE THE
  ROAD BLOCKS TO FURTHER IMPROVMENT?

  WHAT ARE THE VITAL ELLEMENTS IN DETERING, PREVENTING, DECTECTING, 
  REPELLING, RESPONDING, AND EFFECTIVE POST EVENT RESPONSE SUCH AS
  RETALTIATION, APPREHENSION, CALMING PUBLIC FEARS ETC

  HOW CAN PREPERATION-TRAINING AND PROCEDURES RELATED TO TERROR ATTACKS 
  TO SCHOOLS BE IMPROVED? ARE THEY ALREADY AT PEAK LEVELS?

  CAN THE PHYISCAL DESIGN OF SCHOOLS BE IMPROVED TO MAKE LESS VULNERABLE
  ARE SOME EXISITNG CAMPUS TYPE BETTER OR WORS W R T POINTS OF ENTRY-AMBUSH
  AREAS-STAIR WELLS-LUNCH QUADS-..AIR VENT SYSTEMS ETC

  HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY BE USED TO HARDEN SCHOOLS FROM ATTACK?

  BOMB DECTIION TECH

  WHAT ARE THE ATIVE BOMB INGREADIENTS BEING USED IN SUSCIDE BELTS, CAR
  BOMBS ETC. ARE THEY DETECTABLE NOW? IF NOT CAN THEY BE DETECTED WITH
  BETTER TECHNOLOGY-WOULD THIS BE PRATICLE OR AFFORADABLE-WHAT ARE THE
  LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

OHTER TECH CHALLENGES AND POSS IMPROVEMENTS

  MULTI AGENCY COMMUNICATIONS DURRING LAGRE SCALE ATTACK

  GETTING REAL TIME INFO FROM VICTIMS THRU DISPATCH TO RESPONDERS

  SATLILTE IMAGES-REAL TIME VIVISUAL AIDES- VIDEO SURVAILANCE-CHEMICAL AGENT
  DECTECTORS ETC

SUMARRY-CONCLUSIONS
