Thank you all for pitching in. In the end, I went with "Anti-Terrorism Measures Go High Tech." All of suggestions gave good ideas for alternate ways to translate this, but if I had to choose one I would go with Maynard's answer. I would of course prefer to give points to everyone who contributed, but I guess there can only be one. Thanks again.

agree  mkj (X): This would be a nice title for a newspaper article. You think it's evident here that high technology is what "technology" is referring to?

High tech applications in the fight against terror.


Explanation:
It is a newspaper article, this suggestion is far too long. If it is a journal article, it might just be what you are looking for.

What kind of article is it?

High-Tech against terrorism


Explanation:
As the title of a newspaper's article I think the message should be short, clear and also inviting the reader to go through the all article. This title would grab my attention as a reader.

Countering terroism with High-technology


Explanation:
Same thought, slightly different words.

You can pretty much go with any of the suggestions posted.

There's no real right or wrong answer. It's basically personal preference as to how you want the title to be.

It's up to you!
