President Bush has directed the Dept. of Homeland Security to produce a security plan for surface transportation by the end of December. In an executive order issued Dec. 5, Bush says that DHS must "develop a comprehensive surface transportation systems sector specific plan" by Dec. 31.
The document also says that 90 days after the overall plan comes out, DHS must produce an "annex" for each surface transportation mode. Those annexes must identify "any security gaps" for each mode, outline how the security plan will be carried out and spell out the roles of federal and nonfederal government agencies and private companies.
