Abstract

AbstractSince the September 11 tragedy, all aspects of our lives, including our approach to transportation security, have been transformed. In this article, the ways in which transportation has become a global and intermodal enterprise are analyzed with specific attention to the implications of these developments for the security of the system. Such issues as the security of land borders and sea and air entry points as well as the role of containerized freight and aviation are discussed in terms of the situation that existed before September 11 and the changes that have occurred since then. Existing shortcomings and probable future developments are analyzed with particular attention to the potential of energy and other technologies and the role of foreign policy, economic and social development, and conflict resolution.
