The Bomb-Security seminar is of top importance for several reasons, which we will cover the seminar as follows:

A. Combing of premises – the shift of every security guard begins with a procedure of handing over the responsibility over the field/section and of course performing a preliminary inspection of the premises; the inspection is intended to locate unusual or extraordinary items or the demolition charge itself.

B. The seminar will cover all of the following questions, which may rise during the combing of the premises:

• What method should we use?
• What should we search for?
• What do suspicious items actually look like?
• What does the charge consist of?
• What causes it to explode?
• What are the most modern techniques that terrorist organizations utilize?
• Booby traps

Instruction Method:
The instruction during the course of the seminar is performed using presentations and videos; furthermore, the participants share the information and experience we have to offer, including the following:

• Familiarity and identification of the components of demolition charges.
• Analysis of past events and extraction of operative conclusions so as not to repeat past mistakes.
• We provide practical training that instructs the participants as to what they should not touch under any circumstances!!! We base the tools we offer on logic instead of encouraging automatic procedures; in other words, we teach security personnel how to think.

The Adversary:
When attempting to place a demolition charge, the adversary utilizes intelligence-gathering techniques. The data gathered is then analyzed in order to choose the appropriate course of action, which will enable the adversary to perform the terrorist attack and design the most appropriate charge.

The purpose of the seminar is thus to actually widen the participants’ perspective and allow them to attain suitable tools in order to confront the problem more effectively.

The seminar will also cover the following topics:

• Demolition charges and the threat of explosives in the service of terrorism.
• Mechanisms and detonators terrorists use—standard and improvised/home-made.
• Suicide bombers—recruitment methods, incentives, what they are willing to do, and what makes them sacrifice themselves in order to kill others.
• The identification of suicide bombers—how can we recognize them prior to the terrorist attack?
• Bomb cars—the most lethal terrorist weapon: types, complex utilization methods, roadside explosive charges, and suicide drivers!
• Security-system planning—how can we design our security system in light of varied courses of action the adversary can utilize, what are the priorities, and how can we define them?
• Security-related technology—how can technologies help to confront the threat of explosives?
• Following an attack—in case an attack has taken place, heavens forbid, what measures should we take, what preparations should we do, and in what manner should we manage the attack scene? Who should respond first and who should be second to respond? What is the appropriate order? This presentation includes a short video, which captured a suicide attack on a bus seconds after the event.
