GlobeSt.com: To play devil's advocate, at the end of the day, if someone wants to take down a building, that building is coming down, and the only ones you will stop are those who are playing by the rules anyway. How do you respond?

Weisel: That's probably true. But that doesn't mean that property owners should do nothing. The goal should be to reduce vulnerability and make the property a less attractive target.
