The United States, its citizens and facilities, are often caught in the crosshair of the world's most violent and fanatical terrorist groups. Defending and protecting American consulates and personnel in over 260 outposts around the world is a unique group of law enforcement and security specialists. BADGES WITHOUT BORDERS is an inside look at the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Security Service. DSS agents reveal the extraordinary level of security measures employed to protect a high threat post from terrorist attacks such as the U.S. embassy in Cairo, Egypt. Enter into the secret world of the elite tactical unit with the DSS - The Mobile Security Division - as they train and prepare for the unthinkable: attacks using weapons of mass destruction. From the capture of suspects behind the bombing of the World Trade Center, to the man-hunt for Osama Bin Laden, BADGES WITHOUT BORDERS follows DSS agents along the front lines in the United States' fight against transnational terrorism.
