Abstract:
The SAFETY Act provides protections to manufacturers, distributors, and providers of anti-terrorism technologies for cases under the jurisdiction of U.S. courts, but terrorism is a global threat. Other countries should consider similar liability-protection regimes to encourage the industrial base of all free nations to develop and adopt the best anti-terrorist tools no matter where they are manufactured or employed.
