Computers in Homeland Security :: Department of Homeland Security Technology

Computers in Homeland Security The DHS, Department of Homeland Security, uses a wring coded system for informing the general public of what state of readiness the surface area should be in, in case of a terrorists threat. The system they use is a five color system, with separately color representing a different gradation in readiness. Green means low risk of terrorist attacks, blue is Guarded, or general risk of a terrorist attack, yellow means elevated, or epoch-making risk of a terrorist attack. Orange means high risk of an attack, time red means severe risk of an attack. Today the country is continuously on either orange or red. Since President Bush has been in office the country itself, has been on high alert of an attack (http//www.whitehouse.gov/ news/releases/2002/03/20020312-5.html). As part of this paper I took a poll of how legion(predicate) people know about the use of country of origin securities and to also grab if they knew the mean ing of the colors of our alert system.-Question 1 was if a person knew if computers were apply in homeland security.-Question 2 was if they knew what the colors use in homeland security meant.NamesQuestion 1Question 2 jakyesyesJillnonoTomnonoAndrewyesyesEdrickyesyesMikeyesyesDustinnonoJorgeyesyesShaylanonoMalikanonoCherienenonoMarthayesyesChrisnonoTimnonoTomasnonoJudenonoJimmyyesyesKristinayesyesJackienonoTosinyesyesWarrenyesyesSamyesyesCorynonoMarshallnono As technology has change magnitude the importance of computers being involved with homeland security has increased signifi lowlifetly. They pick up started to use computers for ways to check passenger baggage. Notice how when someone goes done an airport they pay back to walk through several metal detectors. These detectors are run by computers in order to check what people have on them. Another way computers are used is a coordination compound system of watch lists and security triggers. These lists are what the airport security uses to ascertain who to take under heavy watch. Since more that 600 million people fly sheet a year. They hope that a computer system called CAPPS 2 can help to check about 5% of the people who fly each year.Another thing that Homeland security uses computers for is surveillance. This is probably the most used place for computers in Homeland Security. With surveillance, there has been a big discovery in cyber optics.
