A gentleman I know, science fiction author, EMT/first responder, and former Coast Guard officer Jim Macdonald, likes to say that “a terrorist attack is simply a poorly-marked HAZMAT site.”

He believes that terrorist attacks can, and should, be handled like any other disaster. Fundamentally, there’s no significant difference between a disaster caused by natural forces, like a tornado or earthquake, by industrial accident, or by deliberate human action.

And the human action parts can be dealt with by law enforcement.
