Science and Security in a Post 9/11 World
by possibly noteworthy at 9:27 am EDT, Oct 27, 2007

File under Joy [2, 3, 4]:

As concerns about threats and terrorist activities have become global, so have the rapid transfer of information and communication. The confluence of the globalization of business and the revolution in information storage and transmittal has changed the landscape upon which to build national and international security. This requires a re-examination of the security measures developed during the days of the Cold War to assess whether those tools are still appropriate and to determine how they are affecting the current science and technology enterprises.

...

Moreover, there is concern that terrorists aspiring to apply advanced technology to the development of weapons might develop the technical capability to do so through a university education.

Hence, it is argued that there is a need for special programs to screen foreign students from a range of countries who might be pursuing studies in "sensitive" fields.
