Introduction Priorto September 11, 2001, known as 9/11, chemical process safety activities primarily focused on accidental release risks and excluded most considerations of intentional releases. Security was provided mostly for lesser threats than such extreme acts of violence, and terrorism was generally not provided for except in high-security areas of the world. Exceptions to this included general concerns for sabotage. This was due to a perception that these risks were managed adequately, and that the threat of a terrorist attack, particularly on U.S. chemical manufacturing facilities or transportation system, was remote.

Many of the original puzzles and concerns considered before initial deployment of explosive detection equipment have not been resolved, but less than optimal solutions have had to be accepted. For example, an alarm is usuaUy resolved by re-screening of the object, hand examination of the alarming item, or questioning of the owner. None of the presently fielded techniques address the need to determine whether a liquid threat material has been sealed in a bottle. There was a short period of time after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 when people wishing to carry a bottle of liquid on board an airplane were required to take a sip of it to demonstrate it was innocuous. Since the threat from liquid explosives in the... 

A right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures is declared by the Fourth Amendment, but how this right translates into substantive actual terms is not specified. Traditional constitutional and statutory legal analyses of the Fourth Amendment are heavily affected by rapidly changing societal values, fears, and security interests after the World Trade Center and Pentagon terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. 

Recent events, including the World Trade Center and Pentagon terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, have induced rapid fundamental changes from historical perspectives of constitutional rights and governmental interests. Necessary questions to ask are (1) does the technology, practice, and procedure make society safer or provide an illusion of safety (2) is the privacy intrusion proportional to the security benefit and (3) are there other demonstrable less privacy intrusive methods available that attain the same objective.

The twentieth century saw an unprecedented increase in destruction caused by warfare, mainly brought about by the ever-increasing lethality of weapons and the introduction of new forms of killing, notably the development and refinement of chemical weapons. The terrorist attacks on New York on 11 September 2001, and the responses to them, suggest that in the twenty-first century we shall continue to witness violence by both states and terrorist groups within them.
