"Port Security" 1200-1300 ET (First Shown 15 Nov 06) 60 Minutes

The United States is served by more than 360 commercial ports that provide approximately 3,200 cargo and passenger handling facilities, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.  Keeping our ports secure, without slowing down trade, commerce, or passenger service is a challenge.  We will explore the layered defense of port security on this edition of Live Response.

"Suicide (Homicide) Bombers" 1300-1400 ET (First Shown 27 Sep 06) 60 Minutes

Exactly when a suicide bombing will take place on American soil is unknown. Intelligence and surveillance are vital for police to safely apprehend suicide bombers and prevent detonation.  No suicide bomber profile exists; however, there is a behavioral profile that may be used to assist police and other emergency responders in recognizing them. We will look at the advantages of suicide bombers, pre-incident indicators, and suicide bombing incident response on this edition of Live Response.
