U.S. businesses are being asked by the leaders of our country to voluntarily do more to beef up homeland security. And government agencies are providing more guidelines that businesses should follow to better protect their employees and the public from terrorist threats. Will the majority of American businesses accept the challenge and do more to voluntarily enhance safety, or will they need to be coerced by laws to act?
If history is any indicator, most businesses will not take extra safety measures until forced to do so.
