Counterbomb: Protecting Yourself against Car, Mail, and Area-Emplaced Bombs
From 1983 to 1988, the use of IEDs (improvised
explosive devices) as murder weapons in the United States
increased more than 430 percent. Regardless of your
profession or position in life, it is a real possibility that you
could become the target of a bomb placed by terrorist or
criminal elements currently operating with impunity
within our borders and abroad.
Author Lawrence W. Myers has assembled a realistic,
highly effective approach to addressing the three most
common methods of assassination by explosives---vehicle,
mail, and area-emplaced bombs. Drawing on his
experiences as a counterterrorism specialist and bombing
case files of the FBI Bomb Data Center, U.S. Secret
Service, and U.S. Defense Department, Myers proposes a
merciless, controversial tactic to use against those who
attempt to utilize explosives for murder and terror:
specially rigged (but easy-to-obtain) security devices that
detonate the IED in the hands of the bomber, killing him.
Myers stresses other deterrents that, while not as
extreme, are also highly effective. By implementing the
canny countersurveillance techniques described herein,
the lines become blurred between killer and victim, stalker
and stalked. The object is to plant a seed of doubt in the
minds of terrorists and criminals as to whether they have
become the target in this deadly dance. Then, if they\'re
foolish enough to try to emplace an lED against you or
your property, they will die.
