How efficient is the federal government at preventing terrorist attacks, especially at US chemical facilities? According to Senator Tom Coburn from Oklahoma, the current federal terrorist prevention regulations are “a broken program that is not making us measurably safer against the threat of a terrorist attack.”
A $595 million terror prevention program was passed by Congress in 2006, but it fails on multiple levels, according to a yearlong investigation by the Senate Homeland Security Committee. In fact, according to the San Jose Mercury News, the report found so much inspection delay, error in risk assessment and government-influenced industry loopholes that 99 percent of US chemical facilities have yet to pass proper security inspections. This makes chemical spills, explosions and public health hazards more likely while increasing the risk of chemical-related terrorism.
