violence to coerce a government
or civilian population, in pursuit of
political or social objectives”
Federal Bureau of Investigation

DEFINING THE THREAT AND RISK
• Terrorism is not a new phenomenon
• Wide variety of motives, tactics,
preferred targets
• Expect more terrorism in U.S.
16
Why target school buses/facilities?
• Relatively unprotected and vulnerable
• Large number of potential casualties
• Schools all over the nation
• Represent an emotional target
• Escape relatively easy
• Demoralize community, state, nation
17
• Schools and buses targets of unstable people
and terrorists
• School bus security begins with driver
• Must be able to identify and define potential
security problems
• With planning and forethought, it is survivable
18
What Should We Fear?
• Hijacking & Hostage Situation
• Ambush
• Improvised Explosive Device (IED)
