Hello Everyone,

Honestly, you did a great job of defining terrorism.
Terrorism is an evil act against mankind, its an effort to overthrow another groups intentions, ideas/belief systems, values and so on. You could also go so far as to say it's a verbal, whether it's direct or indirect, threat against another group or individual.

I hope you're all doing well and best wishes.

Looking forward to hearing back,
Kellie

Seems to me the threat alone can qualify as a terror invoking event.

Just became aware and took this training about a month ago, forum does seem to be a bit of a slow starter. Just thought I'd post to show recent activity.

Good job; I'm having an in-service meeting with my school bus drivers and we will address the issue of buses on field trips and what to do to ensure the safety of the passengers.

Many think of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA ) as the individuals in our airports who prepare us for screening prior to boarding an aircraft; however, with over 200,000 trained First Observers contributing to recent success in foiling a February 2011 motorcoach hijacking and a Texas bomb plot linked to terrorism, the Administration’s eyes are clearly focused on the road.

What kind of vehicle is preferred by these people?

Hello William (Bill) H. Arrington,

Before I retire what opportunities are available for me in the security training department with the First Observers or Homeland Security? I have spent a great deal of my life training in the martial arts studying different styles throughout my military and civilian life. I specialize in disarming weapons, I have been very blessed to train students in schools from K-12 grade, colleges, private industry, State & Govt. For the last four years I have been teaching hand-to-hand combat to the military, teaching them how to disarm weapons knives,9mm,shotguns,AK-47,clubs and vehicle highjacking prevention with or without a weapon. I offered this training to the military free on Armed Forces Day. This was my first year to sit on the sidelines because of the vertigo, I did more talking and let the young instructors do their thing. I am healing slowly but I do not like sitting around all the time. I want to get back into teaching and training people in defensive tactics and awareness. So if there is anyway that Mr. Arrington can get get this message please pass it on.
I also went through the First Observer class in 2009, so I am looking for an opportunity to instruct or teach with First Observers or Department Of Homeland Security. I have over 30 years in the Teamsters as an over the road driver, and I also worked the dock and a jockey. The military truck drivers enjoyed the training on disarming weapons because it has all ready happen, now they know what to do if it would ever happen again.

Thanks,

sounds like a plan to me 

Terrorism no necessarily must be violent acts... the form of those acts have infinite faces!
