America Has Surrendered Its Highways to Al-Qaeda, Consultant Says
The nation's highways are wide open for terrorist attack, according to Terry M. Evans, CEO of Fleet Defender Consulting Services, LLC
(PRWEB) August 9, 2005 -- America's highways are wide open for terrorist
attack.
"Given that most terrorist attacks worldwide involve trucks, America
is poorly prepared to deal with this likely and impending threat," states CEO
Terry M. Evans of Fleet Defender Consulting Services, LLC.
According to
CEO Evans, the country has literally surrendered it's highways to terrorists.
European allies have long since completed the basics, such has fingerprinting
all CDL truck drivers. The Untied States, on the other hand, has done little to
protect the country from such an obvious threat.
"The government has
justly provided millions to fund the Highway Watch Program, an excellent
awareness training program, yet we have no idea who we are actually providing
the training to." reports CEO Evans. "We essentially have placed the cart before
the horse."
Today, given our lack of even the simplest security
screening, it would be incredibly easy for terrorists to gain legal access to
tractor trailers and cripple the nation's highways along with our economy. "What
measures do we have in place today that would stop a terrorist from obtaining a
CDL license?" asks Mr. Evans.
"The reality is that we have little in
place to protect ourselves from the inevitable threat of terrorism using
trucks," claims CEO Evans. For more information or to lend assistance with this
