INTRODUCTION
Bomb threats present serious potential danger to an activity or post.
The motives, targets and bombers, themselves, are diversified. Due to this
fact, bomb threat planning and training is an important part of any physical
security program. Physical security personnel must develop an awareness of
the serious nature of bomb threats; they must understand preplanning
considerations and how to prepare a bomb threat plan. They must understand
actions to take during an after receipt of a threat.
They must also
understand the various responsibilities relative to bomb threats.
