Preface
Welcome to the third edition of our textbook. As indicated by the new title, this edition is significantly different than
the previous two, and accordingly stocked with mostly new material. Whereas the first two editions described “what”
was being done in the name of homeland security, this one explains “why”. In keeping with our previous approach, we
do not ascribe ourselves as “authors” but “editors” because the bulk of material is drawn directly from government
documents, either primary sources or publicly available derivatives. Two of our foremost derivative sources were
reports published by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) and Government Accountability Office (GAO). They
have access to information, unclassified as it may be, well beyond the means of the general public. We would also like
to acknowledge the many public websites that were also instrumental in completing this text. And while we were only
“editors”, we think this book offers its own unique contributions to the field of homeland security. First, it delivers both
a comprehensive yet concise treatment of a very broad subject spanning numerous separate fields, from national
security to military operations to law enforcement to emergency management, to name only a few. Second, and most
importantly, it offers insight into the exact nature of homeland security. Because it was brought to the forefront of
national attention by an act of terrorism, homeland security has become confused with terrorism. While terrorism
certainly remains a concern to homeland security, it is not the root concern. As we try to make eminently clear in this
textbook, the homeland security concern predates 9/11, stemming back to the 1995 Tokyo Subway Attacks which saw
the first employment of a weapon of mass destruction by non-state actors. As our title suggests, the homeland
security concern is domestic catastrophic destruction. 9/11 demonstrated how it could be achieved by subverting
critical infrastructure. Hurricane Katrina demonstrated how it could be accomplished without malicious intent. While
we give due attention to the terrorist motive, we don’t give it the undue attention it has gained by becoming almost
synonymous with homeland security. In this regard, we hope to set the record straight and make it clear what
homeland security “is”, and what it “is not”. Homeland security is not terrorism, nor is it mass killings. While closely
related, homeland security, terrorism, and mass killings are distinctly separate. We hope to demonstrate that in this
book. More importantly, we hope to impart a clarity of understanding that will give you, the reader, a corresponding
advantage in your academic and professional pursuits supported by this knowledge.

Hard Lessons
This section explores the events that created and shaped U.S. homeland security policy. It begins shortly after the end
of the Cold War in 1991. After a four-decade standoff between the United States and Soviet Union, there was a global
sense of relief and great expectation that the world would become a much safer place after the threat of imminent
nuclear war had subsided. Those illusions were shattered in March 1995 after a religious cult attempted to murder
thousands of Japanese commuters aboard the Tokyo subway system using Sarin nerve gas. It was the first time a non-
state actor employed a weapon of mass destruction, marking a watershed moment in history when small groups
attained the destructive power of nations. The implication was not lost on Congress which, spurred by the Oklahoma
City bombing a few months later, chartered a number of commissions to investigate the prospects of WMD attack on
U.S. soil. Because the Tokyo subway attacks sought to topple the Japanese government, they were, by definition, acts
of terrorism. The congressional committees subsequently blurred the distinction between act and motive, labeling a
WMD attack by non-state actors as “terrorism”. The committees also introduced the term “homeland security” to
describe various organizational proposals to prevent and respond to WMD attack. In February 2001, the Hart-Rudman
Commission recommended creation of a National Homeland Security Agenc
