What is Open target : where America is vulnerable to attack about?

Includes bibliographical references (p. [233]-253) and index Homeland (in)security -- America's open doors -- Air attack -- Port security and nuclear attack -- Mass transit attack -- Critical infrastructure and "soft" targets -- The failure of intelligence -- Preparing for a catastrophic attack -- Wasteful spending and sloppy accounting -- Closing the vulnerability gap Based on his first-hand experiences and observations of how the Department of Homeland Security is failing to make America safe, Ervin shows the real threats we face--from nuclear attack to homegrown terrorism. Pushed out by the White House for refusing to sugarcoat its failures, Ervin candidly discusses the circumstances of his departure. He takes the reader inside the decision-making councils of this newest department of the U.S. government, and shows how his team's prescriptions for urgent change were ignored--leaving the US vulnerable to another terrorist attack.--From publisher description
