- (www.abraxasapps.com). TrapWire is one of the most innovative tools
- developed since 9-11 to help mitigate terrorist threats. From a
- protective intelligence perspective, TrapWire does have the ability to
- share information on suspicious events or suspects between cities.
- Operationally, the ability to identify hostile surveillance at one
- target set -- in multiple cities -- can be used to neutralize terror
- threats by interrupting the attack cycle. Meaning, a suspect
- conducting surveillance of the NYC subway can also be spotted by
- TrapWire conducting similar activity at the DC subway, connecting the
- infamous dots. An additional benefit of TrapWire is that the system can
- also be used to help "walk back the cat" after an attack to identify
- terrorist suspects and modus operandi. I can also see the tool being
- very effective in identifying general street crime.
