Design and Evaluation of Physical Security Systems, Second Edition,
includes updated references to security expectations and changes since
9/11. The threat chapter includes references to new threat capabilities
in Weapons of Mass Destruction, and a new figure on hate crime groups in
the US. All the technology chapters have been reviewed and updated to
include technology in use since 2001, when the first edition was
published. Garcia has also added a new chapter that shows how the
methodology described in the book is applied in transportation systems.
College faculty who have adopted this text have suggested improvements
and these have been incorporated as well. This second edition also
includes some references to the author's recent book on Vulnerability
Assessment, to link the two volumes at a high level.
