Join Kojo for a look at the state of cybersecurity: from the likelihood of cyber-terrorism to Denial of Service attacks to the possibility of someone hacking your cellphone.

When disaster strikes, professional first responders like police, firefighters, and EMTs, cannot be everywhere, so it makes sense to train civilians in basic disaster response. Some of your neighbors and work colleagues have been trained to participate in "Community Emergency Response Teams." We look at accomplishments since September 2001 and what still needs to be done.

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, architects and landscape designers have tried to create public buildings balance aeshtetics with security. But some critics worry that our courts, government offices, and embassies abroad are coming to resemble fortresses. Kojo explores how our buildings reflect our views towards government, security and transparency.
