As the first responder to a suspected terrorist or weapon of mass destruction incident, you should request additional resources as needed and then provide procedures for activating response resources.
A weapon of mass destruction is a nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological, or other device designed to cause widespread devastation. Every day, the Department of Homeland Security works to keep terrorists and other threat actors from using these weapons against Americans.
A terrorist assault requires extensive planning and attention to detail. Terrorists must make plans and preparations, purchase and store materials, and find sources of funding, just like other criminals. The public is able to see a lot of this activity.
If you suspect a chemical, biological, or nuclear attack, this text will not provide you with the necessary training to protect yourself completely. In this case, your primary responsibility is to contact those responders who have the necessary training and equipment.
In Kyllo v. United States (2001), a 5-4 opinion was delivered by Justice Antonin Scalia in which the Court held that the Government used a device that is not in public use, to explore details of the home that would previously have been unknowable without physical intrusion hence the surveillance is a 'search' and is unreasonable without a warrant.
