Potential components of a policy are developed here by examining the general incidence of suicide bombings, exploring the political economy and sociology of the suicide bombing infrastructure, and recognizing the possible reasons why other than the 9-11 attacks there has been no other sustained campaign of suicide tactics occurring in the U.S. From this, six possible components of effective local policies might include (a) consideration of the basic information needed to prevent suicide bombing attacks; (b) modifications to protocols and procedures used currently in bombing situations; (c) use of deadly force policies; (d) profiling strategies; (e) the use of advanced technologies; and (f) target hardening practices. The alternative is trial by death--on-the-job training in response to future attacks. ©2011 Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co.
