#2I don't know if this device works, but this is just wrong:
>"I'm sorry to say, but the Brussels attack, this would have instantly sorted out the terrorists before they came into the terminal, and similarly the concert in Paris," he says. "If it had been on the doors there, it would have stopped people getting in."
The terrorists who attacked the Bataclan didn't arrive as simple concert goers, they had AK-47s and shot their way in.

#3I find crazy the amount of resources we deploy to fight something:
- that causes little deaths compared to most diseases or social issues.
- cost little compared to most economical or educational issues.
- has little long term consequences on the country compared to internal and external policies, laws, politics and visions;
- is a direct consequence of social, economical and educational issues and a by product of policies, laws, politics and visions.

You don't understand. My rock repels tigers; hence, presence of tigers must be due to the absence of my rock.
Did I mention that my rock is on sale?

And once you buy the rock: the rock also repels dragons. Do you see any dragons ? That's because you bought the rock !

#6"First, a microscopic amount of Semtex 1A high explosive is dabbed onto a T-shirt. To the naked eye, it is almost invisible - but from a large, red, metal box mounted on a portable steel trolley an ultra-violet laser beam flickers on to the white cotton surface of the garment. Immediately, a warning flashes up on the display monitor."
So you would be able to cause disruption AND get innocents locked up by simply covertly dabbing innocents in a crowd.

Because (it feels) like it's not possible to properly debate the subject in public. As a little/normal person the answer is always the same: "But but what if it was your mother/girlfriend/daughter that died in the attack?!". These are the same people that probably have been into contact with someone who has directly dealt with the consequences of police corruption, yet won't ever support "making the police's job harder".
Once an attack "gets through", which will always happen eventually, anyone that didn't support the PersonalRights-Devouring Anti-Terrorist Bill will get crucified by the press and their opponents.
Most people don't appear to care about numbers, or facts or evidence. They only seem to care about pushing their ideology (normally authoritarianism) that "makes them feel safe", rights and freedoms be damned (which is why I can never take the US's obsession with "rights and freedoms" seriously).

Yes but why do we fail to convince ? What can we do to help people not panicking ?

It's because this "something" is attractive for media, causes lot more fear than "boring" stuff like car crashes or diseases and, of course, can be politically exploited.
