Mobile Guide to Terrorism
April 26, 2004
A rather unusual offering in the mobile arena caught my eye last week: a mobile guide to terrorism!
From Stephenson Strategies, this PDA-based guide provides various databases of terrorism-related information, including:
- Survival Plans (ready made plans under differents heads to use in case of an attack)
- Survival Response (including key contact infromation, decision trees)
- Travel guides (one international, and one US)
The authors have taken the official US Government publications and condensed them for handy PDA-usage.
The international travel guide includes such gems as "How not to dress like an American". As a resident of Dublin, this caught my eye - you always seem to be able to pick out an American tourist on the street. I had never considered that this could be security consideration, but we live in strange times.
