Washington, D.C. Congressmen Peter T. King (New York) and Bennie Thompson (Mississippi) introduced the National Bombing Prevention Act of 2009 (HR 549) in Congress. The Bill amends the Homeland Security Action of 2006 to establish an Office of Bombing Prevention. The "Office" will be responsible for coordinating national and intergovernmental bombing prevention activities; conducting a capabilities analysis of First Responders including State and Local Bomb Squads; assisting State, Local and Tribal Governments with developing IED security plans; and establishing a public awareness campaign on how to respond to a terrorist attack.
