The method includes the steps of: triggering an inquiry regarding a suspect entity at a current site in response to commission of a triggering action by the suspect entity; in response to the inquiry, compiling the data corresponding to the sites at which the suspect entity was detected by the sensor network; and analyzing the data to determine a threat status regarding the suspect entity.
