List of precautionary measures for terrorist attacks
Answers
Precautionary Principle against the risk of terrorism. We offer two main conclusions about precaution against terrorism. First, any action taken to reduce a target risk always poses the introduction of countervailing risks. Moreover, a precautionary approach to terrorism is likely to entail larger, more expensive interventions, so the expected opportunity costs are likely to be higher. While considering worst‐case scenarios is important for the development of sound policy, taking action based only on worst‐case thinking can introduce unforeseen dangers and costs. We argue that a better approach to managing risk involves an assessment of the full portfolio of risks—those reduced by the proposed intervention, as well as those increased. We argue that decision makers developing counterterrorism measures need mechanisms to ensure that sensible risk analysis precedes precautionary actions. Such a mechanism currently exists to review and improve or reject proposed precautionary measures against health and environmental risks, but not, so far, for counterterrorism and national security policies. We urge the creation of such a review mechanism.
List of precautionary measures which can help in countering the terrorist attacks are as follows:
1. Artificial intelligence will play key role in providing advance information
2. Proper installation of CCTV cameras, alertness in the police station and CID department should be given more power so those suspicious terrorist activities can be detected.
3. There should be proper monitoring and screening at the places where more public gathers such as bus stands, malls, Tourist spots, etc.
