Transportation Security is very important. It is a means of protecting commuters of all ages. Both public transportation and private vehicles benefit from a properly designed transportation security system. Commuters on public transportation have often been targets of robbery at gun point and citizens have lost their lives in the process. Additionally, the country’s public transportation assets have been damaged by vandalism and graffiti at great cost to tax payers. Persons have lost their lives during heated arguments that boiled over into road rage. Plus, women and children are especially vulnerable. A properly executed transportation security apparatus can provide vital real time alerts to law enforcement, helping them to protect commuters and solve crimes.
