Although Indians were horrified at the assassination of Gandhi, they were in a sense “relieved” that his killer was a Hindu, not a Muslim. Do you agree that they were correct in feeling that the repercussions from a Muslim murder of Gandhi would have been far more dire? Explain your answer, using examples.

Perhaps no nation on earth has had more experience in combating terrorism than Israel. Numerous groups oppose the existence of Israel or its policies toward the Palestinians. For example HAMAS, the Islamic Resistance Movement, has used terror to promote its goal of establishing an Islamic Palestinian state in place of Israel. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is a Marxist-Leninist group that has used terror to oppose détente with Israel among moderate Arab countries. Over the years, Israelis have suffered deadly ambushes, car bombings, suicide attacks, and airline hijackings from these and other terrorist groups. To counter these threats, the Israeli government has established extensive intelligence gathering and security systems. The Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, maintains extensive files on suspected terrorists and terrorist groups. It uses agents to infiltrate the groups to gather information or spread disinformation. It also employs controversial tactics including assassinating leaders and preemptive strikes on terrorist groups. Because of the daily danger of terrorism, Israeli citizens have learned to cope with a wide range of security measures. Consider what it is like to fly on Israel's airline El-Al. Passengers are subjected to intense scrutiny before they board an El-Al flight. Agents carefully examine suitcases, often removing all articles and checking them individually. Agents also thoroughly interrogate each passenger, asking whether the person has ever been to Israel before, where the person is going, where the person is going after the visit, and who packed the passenger's bags. Any nervousness or reluctance on the part of the passenger can result in further and even more detailed questioning. Passengers are also often separated from travel mates and questioned individually to determine if there are any contradictions in their stories. Even after this process, which can take 30 minutes or more, passengers may be called back and the questioning begins again. Israeli security agents also make use of "profiling." Every passenger is checked through Interpol to determine if he or she has a criminal record. Passengers traveling from certain countries are more closely scrutinized. Arabs and certain foreigners are often subjected to intense questioning and more detailed searches, while most Israeli Jews proceed to board the planes. Using such practices in the United States would be very controversial and might run contrary to the Constitution and other laws. All baggage on a flight must be matched to a given passenger before the plane takes off. Baggage is not only passed through x-ray and metal detectors, but is also placed in a decompression chamber that will trigger certain bomb fuses. Armed, undercover Israeli security agents, trained to stop hijackers, fly on every plane. To keep any hijacker from taking over a plane, the wingspanpit door is locked once the pilot enters. Whether Israeli security measures would work for airlines in the United States is unclear. The personnel and technology used would be very expensive. In addition, El-Al is a very small airline with only several hundred flights per week and only 26 airplanes. U.S. airlines have thousands of flights each week and possess several thousand airliners.

@PRAETORIAN.10

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

well the first question doesnt really have a tangible solid answer

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

the future of anything can only be speculated about

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

for number two

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

The main changes and continuities in terrorist tactics since 1900: hostage taking has remained a constant tactic deployed by terrorist groups. assassinations of political leaders has been used throughout the period. bombing political and military targets has been used throughout. suicide bombings have emerged as a strategy during the 20th century. targetting civilians is more common now than it was in the past. terrorism is more 'global' now than previously, due to developments in technology and communications. terrorist groups now have access to biological weapons. targets are now often chosen because of their symbolic significance. the development of technology, particularly aviation technology, has led to new forms of terrorist attacks.

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

for number three

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

Anti-Terrorist Measures Airline security throughout the United States should be turned over to the federal government and procedures similar to those used in Israel should be employed. The U.S. attorney general will draw up a list of terrorist organizations seeking to cause political change by violent means. Membership in any of these groups will be a criminal offense. Each applicant for federal employment will be required to take a loyalty oath to the U.S. Constitution and affirm that he or she is not, and has never been, a member of any terrorist organization. The FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies will be permitted to use court-approved warrants to conduct roving wiretaps of suspected terrorists or search entire apartment buildings for terrorist suspects and evidence. The United States will adopt and announce a firm policy of never negotiating with terrorists. Individuals convicted of terrorist acts may have their sentences reduced if they volunteer significant intelligence information to federal law enforcement authorities.
