Abstract:
For the United States to develop a comprehensive and multilayered approach to homeland security, it must address the small-boat threat by (1) developing plans to improve U.S. situational awareness rather than defend against specific threat types and (2) investing in measures that bolster the U.S. economy and provide the best return for the amount spent.
