Maryland Homeland Security Team Returns Home
Jul 31, 2004 2:08 pm US/Eastern
A group of Maryland security officials are back home after a week-long tour of Israel with new ideas on how to protect airports, ports, building and other installations under constant threat of terrorism.
Dennis Schrader, the state's homeland security director; Assistant Transportation Secretary James Ports; transit administration Police Chief Douglas DeLeaver and Charles County Sheriff Fred Davis were among the attendees. Schrader says the number of security circles used in Israel is impressive.
According to Schrader, the security tightens as people get through checkpoints inside and outside facilities. Last fall, Governor Robert Ehrlich and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon agreed to the exchange during the governor's visit to Israel.
