Sure, we'll take care of ourselves and look out for suspicious packages and so on. But it's your job to keep us safe, guys. Start doing it and stop congratulating yourselves for being so good at cleaning up messes that wouldn't happen if you were any good.
That's not fair my friend. What do you want them to tell you to do, stay in your house and never come out again until all the bad people are caught? C'mon, they are right, we all must be vigilant.
And to blame them saying that these things would not happen if they did there jobs and were any good at it is totally infair. You can have the best intelligence in the world, the best police protection in the world. Your authorities may be successful at diverting an attack, they may even thwart some through good investigation as a result of excellent intelligance gathering. They can provide the best security in the world. But if some religious zealot extremist decides to strap bombs to himself and walk into the middle of a train station, into the heart of a market place or onto a bus, and blow himself up, that is almost impossible to stop. You cannot blame anyone in authority for not being able to stop an act like that.
