Abstract
Chapter 13 explores in detail the Biohazard Detection System that was built for the US Postal System (USPS) in the wake of the Amerithrax incident. This autonomous detection system was needed to protect postal workers and ensure the safety and integrity of the US mail. The commercial sector worked quickly and efficiently to build the solution that the USPS needed. Autonomous detection systems are built from impressive and intricate technologies. These systems enable us to monitor the environment for a potential attack from a bioterrorist. The biohazard hazard detection system is a perfect example of a model system. It is intended to take advantage of exposure surveillance compared with disease surveillance, which reduces the time for detecting a bioterrorist attack, thereby reducing the risk of disease through postexposure prophylaxis. Consequence management and concept of operation are also important components to well thought-out programs aimed at taking advantage of these systems to the fullest extent possible.
