White Paper considers a unique high tech concept for Homeland Security

John Bennett, CEO of Maritime Protective Services, Inc.(MPS), addressing a meeting of the Companys staff, at policy meetings held at their corporate offices this past week, said,... the value of any Paper, such as the one Dr. Sewak has written, can only be appreciated when -- and if -- those who can act on it, read it. That's why we're going to make it available to anyone who is interested in reading it."

FT LAUDERDALE, FL (PRWEB) April 14, 2004 --- Many of the people who read this Paper, will no doubt be awakened to just how far the marvels of engineering, science and technology have brought us... how far we have been able to extend mans ability to deal with the daunting power of the sea... how far we have expanded the horizons of development and exploration... and how today, we are able to ... extend our borders out into the ocean, as a frontline perimeter of defense."

On first exposure, the average person will, probably be a bit intimidated by the complexity of the technology embodied in a semi-submersible vessel (SSV); or the magnitude of our nations (and the worlds) reliance on the sea; or the critical part our seaports play in each of our lives. And, what makes this Paper important is how the writer skillfully presents each of the concepts key components in a fashion that is easy to grasp and understand. Then, by blending in doses of todays reality, ample servings of science, innovation and creativity -- offers to the reader, in an extremely well organized and particularly intriguing concept, that is both informative and fascinating.

Bennett continiued: "...when one considers the persistent and mounting threat that terrorism continues to exert on our country and the rest of the free world... along with the fact that only the U.S. Coast Guard is responsible for guarding the entire coastline of the continental United States (a border that stretches some 95,000 miles, making it our longest and therefore most vulnerable border) the predicate for considering implementation a novel concept, such as the one Sewak suggests in his paper, may very well require more time for study and analysis but, right now, it makes real good sense."

Now, in their continuing effor to provoke thought... and to encourage that process to be done outside-of-the-box", MPS will be making Dr. Sewaks White Paper: ON SEAPORT SECURITY, INNOVATION and TECHNOLOGY ... creation of an effective preemptive terrorist interdiction methodology at sea" availabe to anyone who is interested.
