Why not just say: " Oh, terrorists : here's a lovely new way for you to harm us !"
The problem is :
1. There is NO SUCH THING as perfect security.
2. The local media are so hungry to be FIRST with a sensational story-preferably one that makes "the cops" look bad-they would betray their country a dozen times over for "improved market share".
3. The media doesn't seem to grasp the fact the stuff they broadcast is studied avidly by people who are hostile to this nation...or:
4. They DO grasp the concept, and HOPE someone will come along to make it an even bigger story !
