Looking Back – 3-14-10 – SSP Experience

Nearly every morning I start my computer time by looking at information from Google about what happened in my blog in the previous 24 hours. Google, and blogspot.com is a Google service, provides interesting pieces of analytical data about my blog readership. One item of particular interest is the top ten blog posts each day. As you would expect, most of those posts were from the last couple of days, but with 16 years of publishing this blog, every once-in-a-while, a blog post from ancient history rises into that list. 

Today a blog post from March 14th, 2010, “Reader Comment 03-13-10 SSP Experience”. This was part of an ongoing conversation that took place in this blog about the early days of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program. While that program is dead, and the specific program discussion of mostly historical interest, there is an ongoing hope that the CFATS program in some form may be resurrected int he 120th Congress. Hopefully, a rejuvenated CISA would take a hard look at the lessons learned in standing up a new chemical security program.
