This document summarizes the history of terrorism in the United States from the civil rights movement to present-day threats. It covers various left-wing and right-wing terrorist groups that have operated in the US, including the Weather Underground, Symbionese Liberation Army, Ku Klux Klan, and neo-Nazi groups. It also discusses single-issue causes like animal rights and environmental activism that have led to violence. The chapter concludes with an analysis of Al-Qaeda's September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon as a pivotal moment that introduced Islamic jihadist terrorism to the US.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
