Boeing to Staff FBI Fusion Center

Alice Lipowicz writes on Washington Technology:

To advance information sharing against terrorism, Boeing Co. expects to be among the first major corporations — maybe the first — to assign its own analyst to the Seattle FBI Fusion Center intelligence sharing office, according to a senior Boeing official.

The center is one of dozens around the country created by state and local governments to share anti-terrorism intelligence. Boeing wants to set an example of how private owners of critical infrastructure can get involved in such centers to generate and receive criminal and anti-terrorism intelligence, said Richard Hovel, Boeing senior advisor on aviation and homeland security.
