US will issue travel warning for Americans in Europe

Because it is some what impossible or unrealistic to go round and protecting any education site and any major place where a terrorist may cause an attack on. We would need to know their plans, where they are going to target and up the security at these places. Which if you go to any major airport you would normally see Armed Officers or do you remember the time there was tanks outside Heathrow or somewhere similar? Forgot the reason for that but yeah. It would also cause too much worry for people and the parents may just keep their children at home missing out on their education due to the worry that an attack is going to happen and there a large amount of security/Police around the school.

I'd love to see one tank per school tbh lol. But on a serious note it doesn't have to be manpower protecting our school's technology has come a long way to be subtle protection. High-tech school's seem better protected than older school's. So if they were going to attack a school the low-tech school's will be the best school's to attack. Although they could attack absolutely anywhere in that fashion. Places of Work/Learning/Healing/Travelling/Living. Let's just say I'm going to start building my underground bunker now. Won't get me in there >.<

Haha, but will these bother putting these systems in? Never mind the cost of the systems. It's a hard one to judge really because you have to make sure the staff and the students are secure and safe but then there is the cost of these systems, maybe it's because we have never had such attacks before and we are basically not prepared for them.

Back in 2003!

Scrap school's for the future and upgrade the school's of the present with high-tech security. Also I was reading a comment on the BBC News website who actually says Paris' streets are safer at night as there is military presence on the streets and police with guns on the streets than it is the UK Streets which suffers the worst crime rate in Europe tbh. So if we can't even keep our own citizens in check with their knives and guns. Then how da **** are we going to defeat some trained commando squad

In my opinion we need a few of these flying around every few secs. I'd feel safe.

I shouldn't be too worried. Shall I remind you (or perhaps tell you) of this:


unless they attack a plane, then that's a different situation.

That's actually quite an emotional video ... it really made me think about how the people felt and what was going through their heads!

if you are being terrorised you are letting the terrorists win. and the french have this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Gendarmerie which is sort of a police force run by the military

[-:Undertaker:-]

This is absolute nonsense as per usual and is nothing but scare-mongering from our governments who have only made a threat worse than it was (because the threat of terrorism will always be there regardless of what you do). The US government has done it on its own soil time and time again in order to take away civil liberties in the name of security and instill fear in all of you so you trust your government. The US Patriot Bill was an example of this and we've seen in this country how we can now hold 'terrorist suspects' (cannot even be defined) for longer than they hold suspects in Zimbabwe.

The Americans are told by their government that in order for them to be safe their government needs to have the right to tap their phone lines/monitor their convesations. The British and Europeans are told that in order to tackle crime properly they need to be subject to being carted off to another European nation without consent from their home nation. We British are told that in order to be safe we need to have more CCTV than Police-state China. We British are told that counter terrorism laws are to protect us, yet our councils openly use them to find out whether parents are fixing the schools-system for their children.

The list goes on and on; the best thing government could do to protect us is to get out of our lives, hand back civil liberties and end the ridiculous wars + military bases in the Middle East. Anybody familiar with 1984? - we are on the verge of living it.

Seems like typical scare mongering to me. I heard this on the radio and couldn't believe what I heard and immediately though "Eh?" and switched over to Radio 1 It's pretty unrealistic of the US to suggest th whole of Europe is going to explode in a vibrant array of colour, from Al-Qaeda. Heck, I forgot they even existed. It is afterall the favourite word over there at the moment, "Al-Qaeda" :/
