Homeys on Film: Homeland Security Lessons from Bad Movies

I got the message below asking me to share their "work" with you. It looks like an interesting topic and who doesn't love "lessons from movies"? The only commentary I have is that remember, "The lesson will continue to be taught until it is learned." Otherwise, it is only "lessons observed." See below:

"Thank you for all the valuable information you post on your Disaster Zone blog. I’m now working on a Master’s Degree in Homeland Security Studies at the Naval Postgraduate School, and one of my group assignments is to write a homeland security-related series of articles on Medium. My group and I are calling our series 'Homeys on Film: Homeland Security Lessons from Bad Movies.'

The first article in the series is centered on the 1964 Toho Films monster extravaganza King Kong vs. Godziilla. The homeland security lessons we mine from this cinematic gem include: (1) Be Willing to Increase the Intensity of Your Defensive Measure; (2) What Has Worked in the Past Will Not Necessarily Work Now; (3) What Works Against One Antagonist May Not Work as Well Against Another; (4) If Your Primary Tool is a Hammer, You Mustn’t Assume That Your Foe Will Necessarily Act Like a Nail; and (5) The Enemy of Your Enemy is Not Necessarily Your Friend.

Additional articles center around that classic of Cold War paranoia, Fail Safe, and, selected by the Golden Turkey Awards as the Worst Film of All Time, the sci-fi stinker Plan 9 From Outer Space."

I thought the first two "lessons from movies" were better than the last one. Here's my "lesson from this blog post:" always suck up to the blog owner before asking for a guest post — mostly, it will work. :)
