SECURITY GUARDS AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE (CRS)

Much of the burden of protecting the nation's critical facilities
against terrorist attack falls on approximately one million
security guards and other security personnel.

A new report from the Congressional Research Service examines their
adequacy to the task, including questions of training, authority,
salary, and more.

The Congressional Research Service does not permit direct public
access to its products.  A copy of the new report was obtained by
Secrecy News.

See "Guarding America:  Security Guards and U.S. Critical
Infrastructure Protection," November 12, 2004:
