The wide availability of powerful encryption software has made evidence gathering a significant challenge for investigators.

State education officials see an opportunity to prepare students for the thousands of jobs focused on national security and weapons research that are expected to come to Maryland in a nationwide consolidation of military bases. The Harford County school system plans to open in fall of 2007 the nation's first magnet program focused on homeland security, preparing high school students for careers in disaster response, high-level computer science and law enforcement. The new program also aims to feed students into area universities, which have been rapidly developing similar programs in advanced security since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. |

| Description: |
Most students are not taught how to critically evaluate information found on the Internet. The ability to read, understand, and decipher online material requires a unique skill set—qualities many of today's students have yet to grasp, according to researchers at the University of Connecticut and Clemson University, who with funds from the U.S. Department of Education, are creating a custom built model to help students acquire the kinds of higher-level comprehension skills necessary to navigate today's digital landscape. |
