Securitization of the threat of civil aviation abuse
Prázdná, Eliška ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (advisor) ; Machoň, Miloslav (referee)
International security became highly discussed subject in the early stage of globalization. It has stayed a current issue ever since. With about 2.5 billion people per year choosing air traffic, the security in aviation has become equally discussed. The aim of this paper is to examine the securitization process, its objects and the way of institutionalization presented by security regulations that came after London Heathrow events, where we saw, what kind of threat could civil aviation represent. Firstly, the Copenhagen school's theoretical concept of securitization is being defined, than it will be used as a framework for the UK bomb plot of 2006.

The units integrated rescue system activity during suspected a possible terrorist attack using biological arms and toxins
MAISTRYSZINOVÁ, Soňa
The possible use of biological weapons has become a reality. In the face of the character and the organizational transformation of the phenomenon of terrorism and the incidents related to terrorist attacks today, the interest of specialists, politicians, general public and of course also mass media in the threat of bioterrorism and the posibility of misuse of mass destruction weapons is getting stronger. A biological attack means an intentional use of vital microorganisms or their toxic products to cause a disease and death in people, animals and plants. This is a very broad issue, that is why this work is focused especially on a short summary of main aspects of the problem, with emphasis on readiness of the integrated rescue system for extraordinary incident, eventually on a crisis situation, that could come as a consequence of the use of biological weapons. The methods of a biological attack and its main characteristics. The general public must be better informed about the possibilities of ultraterrorist attacks and must be prepared for the possible reaction in case of these attacks. Growing awareness would probably significantly contribute to the elimination of losses in the case of use of these biological weapons by terrorists. It is necessary to focus on the citizens´ preparation regarding existing threats of terrorist attacks, inform them how to identify symptoms of attacks with weapons of mass destruction and how to adequately protect ourselves against them. A rank of proceedings exists for the protection of citizens, such as sufficient amount of protective masks, means for decontamination, a complete programme for mass vaccination, a broader and deeper planning of processes for extraordinary situations, as well as information about emmergency escape shelters etc..

The dirty bomb and the emergency after its usage against civilian population
GUBRICKÝ, Václav
My thesis deals with the issue of crisis management with focus on a terrorist attack using a dirty bomb. The objective of the thesis is to explain the term {\clqq}dirty bomb``, to assess possible health and life threatening consequences of such an attack and possible economic impacts on society. I also examined the preparedness of the crisis management in the Czech Republic if there is such an attack. A theoretical simulation of a dirty bomb explosion with subsequent analysis of its effects was carried out. It was performed after a thorough research of legal rules refering to crisis management, the Integrated Rescue System (IRS) activities in an emergency incident, studies of IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) and bulletins treating the issue of a terrorist attack using radioactive substances. In the thesis the current types of actions of the IRS as a response to a confirmed usage of a radiological weapon are analysed. I also draw attention to some components of the IRS which may prove to be weak links of the chain if there is a real intervention of the IRS. One of the main questions analyzed in this thesis was preparedness of the Police of the Czech Republic to deal effectively with emergencies such as terrorist attack using a dirty bomb. I put forward my point of view as the author of this thesis and a policeman as well. I consider the issue of preparedness of the Police of the Czech Republic for emergencies such as terrorist attack using a dirty bomb to be vital.

Comparison of radiological and chemical weapons in the context of their use in terrorist attacks against civilians
GUBRICKÝ, Václav
The thesis is focused on radiological and chemical weapons in the context of their use in terrorist attacks against the civilian population in relation to rescue and clean up operations of the Integrated Rescue System (IRS) of the Czech Republic. The objective of the thesis is to specify the terms of radiological and chemical weapons, to assess potential negative consequences of their use with the emphasis on the threat to life and health of the population, to evaluate the economic impact on society and to compare the IRS activities during the immediate intervention carried out after a terrorist attack. The topic is dealt with based on the research and the analysis of rules of law in force regulating activities of the IRS components in these major incidents and also of documents of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) and other works focused on the misuse of radioactive and chemical agents in terrorist attacks. Severity and complexity of the issue is illustrated by information given on the radiological accident in Goiana in Brazil, sarin attacks of the Japanese sect Óm šinrikjó and consequences of the model example of the use of radionuclide 137Cs. In the thesis the current methodology on which the IRS components operate in such emergencies is analyzed, and some aspects that are subject of the set of type activities, worked out by the Civil Emergency Planning Committee and DG Fire Rescue Service of the CR, which may become weak points during a real action of the IRS, are pointed out. One of major issues analyzed in this study is comparison of radiological and chemical attacks with the focus on the initial phase of the intervention of the IRS components. Presentation of differences in individual activities of the IRS components in such interventions can contribute significantly to understanding and subsequently managing the activities carried out by the IRS components in these major incidents.

Biological Weapons and Readiness of Integrated Rescue System for Biological Attack
KVÍDEROVÁ, Lenka
As the topic for my Bachelor Thesis I have chosen the Biological Weapons and Readiness of Integrated Rescue System for Biological Attack. The bioterrorism has recently become one of the most critical worldwide problems. The terrorist organizations that would misuse the biological weapons as a tool of pressure and blackmail to enforce their own interests would choose mainly civilian population as the target of their attack. The Integrated Rescue System plays an important role in protecting the population against this threat. The purpose of this Thesis is to point out the issue of biological weapons, to outline possibilities of production of these hazardous materials, to inform about how these biological means can be spread among the population and mainly to draw attention to the most significant representatives of the biological weapons. I will also describe the Integrated Rescue System and its individual components taking part in solving extraordinary situations incorporating occurrence of B-agens. In order to ensure readiness of the basic components of the Integrated Rescue System for biological terrorism, there has been a questionnaire compiled and handed over to the respective members of the Fire Brigade, Police of the Czech Republic and medical emergency services to fill it in. The Thesis is verifying the hypothesis whether the Integrated Rescue System components are sufficiently ready for a biological attack. Based on confrontation of the information obtained from literature, legislation, electronic sources and outcome of the questionnaire survey, there was an answer to the defined hypothesis formulated in the conclusion, stating that the Integrated Rescue System components are not currently prepared sufficiently for a biological attack.
