London Car Bomb,June 29, 2007

The discovery last night of an undetonated bomb in an abandoned car parked in a busy London nightclub and theater district is a grim reminder that the threats that we all face from terrorism are not going away.  Hatred for Western governments and way of life is at an all time high and fringe groups are often encouraged by the panic that even an unsuccessful attempt like this can cause.

While there is nowhere that you can go to keep yourself completely safe from this threat, there are things that you can do to help.  Report abandoned packages or bags to the authorities immediately.  If you notice something unusual, like in this case where people saw smoke coming from the car, report it and get away from the area.  If you notice unusual behavior in a person in a public place, such as increased agitation or wearing bulky garments that are inappropriate for the weather and look to be concealing something, don’t be afraid to report it.  Law enforcement agencies can’t be everywhere at once, so there is only so much they can do to protect us.  We must act as their eyes and ears and realize that we must assume some responsibility and be active participants in increasing the safety and security of ourselves and our neighbors
