Acknowledgments
This book would not have been possible without the advice and dedication of many individuals. I would like to express special appreciation to my supervisors at the Transportation Security Administration who allowed me the time and support to undertake this endeavor. In particular, I want to thank Paula Billingsley for her invaluable feedback.
I am deeply indebted to the faculty at the Naval Postgraduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security. I am especially grateful to Dr. Nadav Morag for his insight, knowledge, dedication, unwavering patience, challenging me with hard questions, confidence in me, and hours of input. Dr. Morag went well beyond the call of duty and this book would not be a reality without his commitment and incredible responsiveness. I am also thankful to John Rollins, Esq., for providing me guidance and professional expertise, sending me pertinent materials, and encouraging me to think about new areas; Dr. Chris Bellavita for helping me select the topic of preventive detention, for encouraging me to take risks, and for his continued encouragement; Dr. David Brannon for his humor, advice, and overall faith in me; and Dr. Lauren Wollman for her logistical support and advice in helping me publish this book.
