Evening
event: 7.00 - 8.30
Alert, but not alarmed? |
| Is it possible
to live in a society that has permanent Terrorist Threat Warning
Systems, without feeling slightly on edge? Governments claim
that they want to warn us without scaring us - to keep us alert
without making us feel alarmed. What balance should be struck
between alerting people and alarming them? |
