Experts and local law enforcement speak about living in the Capital District post-9/11

"Brian Nussbaum, an assistant professor at UAlbany’s College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity who specializes in topics includng terrorism, risk and intelligence analysis, agreed with Apple’s last statement in that it’s much better that both federal and state governments work together.

He said that there has been much work done to address terrorism in the military, state department, risk and intelligence agencies, and in law enforcement across federal and state levels.

Nussbaum brought up that another example of how policies have changed since 2001, for example, how cockpit doors are locked on airplanes now.

“It is a very, very low cost policy which has lots of payoff,” he said. “It doesn’t hurt people’s liberty too much and it does make it much tougher for those who wanted to use airplanes as weapons.”"
