System Planning Corporation Maritime Security Expert Looks at Global Intermodal Cargo Security Needs
Arlington, VA (July 27) - The June 2006 issue of Homeland Defense Journal features an article written by Linda Easley,
Senior Vice President of SPC’s Homeland Security Strategies Division on the importance of taking a comprehensive perspective
in order to address the complex issues involving all six modes of intermodal transportation - maritime, rail, truck, air, mass
transit and pipeline.
Easley observes that “to address the intermodal security issue requires a partnership between public and private stakeholders.”
She argues that the private sector must take the lead because it owns and operates more than 85 percent of U.S. infrastructure.
The article proposes that the nation invest today in a program “that will have equally far-reaching consequences…and…return on investment along the lines of the Tennessee Valley Authority.”
As leader of SPC’s homeland security team, Easley spearheads development of GlobalTrak®, the company’s innovative intermodal
supply chain visibility and security system, which offers supply chain managers a real time cargo tracking and security capability.
