Statistical Methods in Counterterrorism Game Theory, Modeling, Syndromic Surveillance, and Biometric Authentication

All the data was out there to warn us of this impending attack, why didn't we see it?" This was a frequently asked question in the weeks and months after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. In the wake of the attacks, statisticians moved...
