Grose founded Omega Systems Group in 1995 . He served as the chairman of the organization from 1981 – 83 , and again from 1986 to the present . The organization offers consulting in risk management and loss prevention , along with providing expertise witness services . Omega Systems Group is known for developing management risk methodology for use by organizations in a variety of fields . Under the guidance of Grose , the organization designed and developed a risk management methodology , known as SMART ( Systems Methodology Applied to Risk Termination ) . The technique is a corporate budget system for addressing and mitigating legal , political , social , economic , and technological loss . The system has been used by AT&T , Exxon , NASA , and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority . ( ) In 1984 , SMART was successfully utilized to combat terrorism at the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles . ( ) In 1997 , Vice President Al Gore requested his assistance and expertise on the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security , which was established by President Bill Clinton following the TWA Flight 800 disaster over the Atlantic Ocean on July 17 , 1996 . Also known as the Gore Commission , the study was organized and designed to review and implement strategies to improve civil aviation safety , ensure aviation security , and modernize air traffic control policies , standards , and technologies . After gathering recommendations , which primarily focused on increasing security measures , the Commission finalized its report and forwarded it to President Clinton , eight months after the disaster . As a result of the study , Congress earmarked over $ 400 million to enhance commercial airlines with improved security measures and new explosives detection technology . ( ) Another wave of controversy occurred during this period , and that was the teaching of evolution in the public schools , and other science concepts and ideas that touched on beliefs , religion , values and morals ( e.g. teaching human sexuality , human reproduction , and birth control in biology classes , for example ) . But it was Darwin 's evolutionary theory that resulted in court cases , and laws being passed to regulate the teaching of evolution ( such as giving equal time to " creation science " if " evolution science " was presented in a science class
