London Terrorism Attack Likely to be Repeated in US

The American Trucking Industry could be targeted for terrorist attack, claims Fleet Defender Consulting Serivces, LLC.

(PRWEB) July 9, 2005 -- A terrorist attack against the american trucking industry is likely, according to Terry M. Evans, CEO, Fleet Defender Consulting Serivces, LLC, a company specializing in providing anti-terrorism and training services to trucking companies nationally.

"The governement and the trucking industry have failed to respond adequently to the imminent risk facing our nation" states CEO Evans. "Without question, trucks are the # 1 tool and method used by terroist worldwide, yet we have done little to protect this huge and very public industry. Imagine the chaos and economic disaster that would follow a terroist attack using trucks. Tractor trailers have access to virtually any target terrorists would desire across the entire country. We are not providing even basic controls. While we focus on airports, we have left the front door wide open. Visit any truck stop in the country and you will find trucks idling unlocked and unattended while the driver sits inside having his meal."

"Worse than this", reports CEO Evans, "the shrinking driver pool has encouraged trucking companies to hire anyone with a commercial driver's license. " "This license is rather simple to obtain without any government screening and virtually gives the keys to opportunity to the enemy."
