Each weekday, more than 12 million passengers take to U.S. railways. Recent attacks on passenger-rail systems around the world highlight the vulnerability of rail travel and the importance of rail security for these passengers. The use of passenger rail and the frequency with which terrorists target it call for a commitment to analyzing and improving rail security in the United States. This book explains a framework for security planners and policymakers to use to guide cost-effective rail-security planning. 606 $aRailroads$zUnited States$xPassenger traffic 606 $aTransportation$zUnited States$xPassenger traffic 615 0$aRailroads$xPassenger traffic. 615 0$aTransportation$xPassenger traffic. 676 $a363.28/74 701 $aWilson$b Jeremy M.$f1974-$0879924 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220105503321 996 $aSecuring America's passenger-rail systems$92023214 997 $aUNINA
