Summary

In the fight against terrorism technology is a powerful tool.

This quote illustrates how on the one hand information and communications technology (ICT), biotechnology, neuroscience and nanotechnology contribute to the development of important counter-terrorist strategies and on the other hand that we should be realistic about their impact.
