You're exactly right in saying that the British security services some of the best.
People in general are so naive in thinking that since these terrorist acts occour nothing else can happen again.
In what I said "...hopefully other nations will not be so lax in their security and step up to the plate and remind the citizens that complacency kills." I see how it was taken as a bit off color. The nations themselves do what they believe to be right. But citizens of that nation don't want to take care of themselves. There is little to no self preservation mindset in the masses. This forum is overwhelmingly SA in everyday life. But walk around and watch how people walk amongst others in public with entirely too much trust. I live up against DC and it's downright frustrating to see people just turn a blind eye to a suspicous person or bag that was left behind. It happens because of complacency. It pisses me off to no end to see images of 9-11, but on the other side of the coin it reminds me of how quick it could all end. It makes me look a little closer at someone that looks to be overdressed in bulky clothing in hot weather, those that look uncomfortable or out of place. People need to stop thinking that what happens around them is not their buisness. If it could potentially affect me, it is my buisness and I'll make it so.
A nation has to educate it's people realistically and stop coddling them into believing that it's gonna be ok.
I don't want to get you pissed off due to the connection you have with this event, take my post for what it's worth. I can't make everyone happy and don't intend to change my point of view.
