  • Title: Threats to National Security: Agroterrorism, Radioactive Materials, Nuclear Weapons, and Total Information Warfare

    Please answer the following: 1. Detail, using course material (citing as appropriate), the worst-case scenario of agroterrorism against our agricultural and food industries. Which threat agents pose the greatest threat and why? What mitigation measures are in place to mitigate these risks? 2. What radioactive material killed Alexander Litvinenko in London in November 2006? How has the investigation developed between 2007 and 2016? Do the British authorities have a theory of who ordered Litvinenko killed? 3. In April 2010, President Obama said, “The single biggest threat to US security, both short-term, medium-term and long-term, would be the possibility of a terrorist organization obtaining a nuclear weapon.” How does this statement impact current U.S. National Security Policy? If you were President, what changes would you make to U.S. National Security Policy to reduce the likelihood of a terrorist organization obtaining a nuclear weapon? 4. China’s military doctrine considers the use of nuclear high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) attacks as part of a combined operation in what they call Total Information Warfare. Is this a weapon that terrorists could obtain to incapacitate the United States? Could nations use terrorist proxies to carry out this type of attack? 5. Experts disagree as to the threat from rouge nations with nuclear weapons (North Korea, Pakistan, Iran in the future, etc.) providing those weapons to non-state actors. Do you think this is a concern, or are nation-states unwilling to cross this line? Why is attribution post-attack so important? – Your paper must be at least five pages (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit). You must provide a MINIMUM OF ONE PAGE PER QUESTION!!! – Scholarly and credible references should be used. A good rule of thumb is to use at least two scholarly sources per page of content. – Type in Times New Roman, 12 point, and double space. – Students will follow the current APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework. – Points will be deducted for using Wikipedia or encyclopedic-type sources. It is highly advised to utilize books, peer-reviewed journals, articles, archived documents, etc.

Second Part: Summarize your treatment of Catalina in a one- to two-page response. *********** Catalina is a 45-year-old single mother with two teenage children. For the past 20 years she has worked as an accountant for a small company. In that role she has focused entirely on budgets, expenditures, cost analyses, and report writing. Her company was recently acquired by a much larger one, and she and everyone else in her department have been replaced by staff from that company. She has been terminated and given 3 months of severance pay. She has come to your office in a community-based counseling center to ask for help in deciding what to do next. In the first interview Catalina asks you to give her “one of those tests that tell you what to do.” You temporarily bypass this request and ask her to describe her work over the past 20 years, indicating what she did and did not like about it. You learn that her primary dissatisfaction in her past job was that there was very little opportunity to interact with people. You also ask about her interest in getting additional education or training for the purpose of being able to enter an entirely different occupation. You learn that Catalina feels strongly that she cannot pursue more or different training at this time due to family responsibilities. You then return to the subject of her request to take one or more assessments. What do you decide to tell her? And if you decide to do an assessment, which do you choose, and why?
