ZweigWhite has a report on corporations protecting their physical assets against terrorist attack. It finds that most firms are still assessing the need -- sounds to me like a case of owners being able to say, "Yup, we're working on the problem" without spending the money and lowering profits.
Part of the problem is waiting for money to arrive from the federal government. Another problem is that owners are still trying to figure what makes their assets secure against attack. The report notes that, for construction firms who will benefit from these retrofits, homeland security is a long-term prospect, with revenue increasing slowly. And, ahem, should there be a significant attack, there would be further work (revenue) made available.
If you want to learn more, you gotta pony up US$153 from ZweigWhite.
