Terrorist Hazards

Your thread must be at least 275 words. Your thread must reflect critical thought. There are two philosophical reference points that form the basis for our government, and by extension, our governments role in securing our borders.  These are (1) the Holy Bible, and (2) principles of self-governance as expressed in our Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.  These principles were frequently articulated by our Founders and are provided for you in the document entitled American Founding Principles (Will be provided).  For every discussion topic, try to relate the course content to real-world applications with biblical perspectives and link back to at least one Founding principle. Also, a minimum of 1 source is referenced appropriately; cite any sources used.  More is better.
Topic:
Consider CBRNE, natural, and technological hazards. Based on a terrorist attack, which hazard(s) do you perceive would become the most dangerous threat to the United States? What hazard(s) do you perceive to present the least risk to the United States? Consider combined hazards. Describe an appropriate response to the risk(s) posed by the most dangerous threat.

NOTE*CBRNE is not a Hazard.CBRNE is an acronym that describes five categories of multiple threats which pose a variety of hazards. (A threat is not the same thing as a hazard.) A volcano is a hazard. If the volcano erupts, the lava is a threat to people downhill, and the ash cloud is a threat to airplanes (i.e. the potential hazard has materialized into something tangible – a threat)

A risk is the combination of occurrence of harm ( likelihood, or probability of occurrence) and severity of that harm (potential consequences)
