Homeland Security

The homeland security market is a multi-billion dollar industry, that demands sophisticated technology. 

SDS seeks to utilize the hostile intent stored within the mind of a criminal to prevent a crime from taking place. In many cases, exposing intent can be easier than exposing the means-such as explosives or weapons-through which a criminal may perpetrate an attack. The value of focusing on intent is based on several advanced crime solving theories.

Sophisticated criminals often may utilize rather simplistic means to carry out an attack. And often, these criminals go to great lengths to disguise the means through which they commit their crime. For example, there may be little physical evidence present while committing a financial fraud, diamond theft, industrial espionage, or other such crime. In such case, tracking a criminal's means alone may never lead law enforcement to uncover criminal activity.

When entering a foreign country, terrorists are not necessarily carrying any weapons or explosive devices. In several international terror attacks, the perpetrators were able to pass through security checkpoints with relative ease, as they were not carrying any illegal or dangerous materials. Such attacks include: 
• The 9/11 tragedy
• The train bombings in Madrid, Spain (March, 2004)
• The attack on the school in Beslan, Russia (September, 2004)
• The attacks on holiday resorts in the Sinai desert, Egypt (October, 2004)
• Some of the international terrorist attacks against Israel (2003-2006)

Moreover, terrorists that intend to perpetrate a chemical, biological or atomic terrorist attack be extra certain not to carry such devices on their person while entering a country through an official checkpoint or border crossing. The only clues to the act a criminal or terrorist seeks to commit lie deep within the thoughts of the perpetrator.
