Module 12 discusses the role of key players in responding to a terrorist incident. Identify and discuss three (3) issues that in your opinion either are or could become significant negative problems or failure areas in the decision making process that are caused by the fact that key players or key decision makers are often elected officials who while extremely keen to the political or public relations aspects of any event are not technically well versed and tend to respond with politically oriented short term decisions. What issues do you believe would be adversely affected by this infusion of the political aspect of problem solving vice having a written, well defined, pre planned, and tested response plan that required only a minimum discussion of the decision options?
