Author Biography

Noah Waters conducted law enforcement vessel boardings as one of only two female U.S. Sea Marshals in the San Francisco Bay, immediately after the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Towers. She mitigated threats to the port by boarding vessels at sea in support of federal, state, and local law enforcement on high-capacity passenger vessels (cruise ships), cargo carriers, and container ships entering one of the United States' most important gateways. Following her appointment as a U.S. Sea Marshal, she went on to work at the U.S. Coast guard headquarters in Washington, DC on the development of requirements for future port security measures and protocols for today's current maritime safety and security teams. From that position she transitioned to civilian employment with the Federal Bureau of Investigation where she contributed to the design and implementation of the name check data system currently being used by airports industries, border guards, the trucking industry, and background check companies.
