Terrorism itself can be broken down into five different sub-classes. (Combs, 14) There is mass terror. What this is terror by a state, where the regime coerces the opposition in the population, whether organized or unorganized, sometimes in an institutionalized manner. Another type is dynastic assassination, which is an attack on a head of state or ruling elite. Random terror is another type of terrorism. This kind of terrorism is when someone places explosives where people gather to destroy whoever happens to be there. The fourth kind of terrorism is focused random terror. Focused random terror restricts the placing of explosives, for example, to where significant agents of oppression are likely to gather. The last kind of terrorism is tactical terror. This is terror directed solely against the ruling government as a part of a "broad revolutionary strategic plan- (Combs, 14). .
Now what do we do to prevent these acts of terror? The government has raised security almost everywhere. They have adjusted the physical security, which is basically just adding extra personnel to different areas of high risk. The main areas that you notice this are in the airports and other potential high-risk areas. They have also increased the number of penetration teams. These teams work to find holes in security systems. Their entire job is to try and sneak through security. This way they find the wholes and fix them. They have tightened operational security. This is when they tighten the security of the company's information. They encode and put pass codes on the vital information and procedures that companies use. This way the information cannot fall into the wrong hands. Lastly they have taken the steps to train and take their personnel to the next level of security awareness.
