Rail transportation – its security and threat of terrorism
Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2012, Vol 8, Issue 8
Abstract
The phenomenon of terrorism, that is sometimes called a tool of political struggle is not limited in any way. We are present in the countries that have been specially affected by the plague of terrorism, because of our political or economical operations. Polish diplomatic and commercial representative offices and missions are located all over the world, while Polish airplanes, ships and trains (or at least with Polish crew) travel thousands of kilometres. After Polish borders opened in 1989 we have been active tourists who reach the furthest places on Earth. Among other factors that significantly increase Poland’s exposure to terrorism one should surely mention our membership in the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), as well as the military involvement in Afganistan and military and police activities during peace missions. Special meaning may also be assigned to the information that is published by the media from time to time about location of U.S. Army bases in Poland or secret prisons for terrorists located in Poland.<br/><br/>
