Undercover operations are enormously dangerous. This is because generally there are few operational guidelines, no standards for personnel selection, and the looseness of supervision increases concerns about officer safety. For this Lab watch the video (see below) than provide a critical summary of what you believe the undercover agents did stop the terrorist plot.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the SafeAssign plagiarism tool.
