On 9/11 the hijacked planes put off their transponders. This is a communication-device, that makes it possible for air-controllers to locate the plane. When it's put off (why this is possible or necessary, I don't know), the Air Force should be informed. Jet fighters will take off to intercept them. Nothing of this happened. When questions were asked, it was caled the side-effects of a ongoing drill/wargame. This “black out” made it possible for the hijacked “planes” to reach their targets, with the well-known results.
But this situation has changed. Everybody is on high (red) alert to prevent terrorism and everything is focused on this aspect.
On an American airport a 4-year old boy's name stood on the “potential terrorist-list (aren't we all)”. Instead of smiles and laughter, the boy was arrested. It escaped the custom-officers and ran to his mother. As a result the mother was arrested and strip searched, because the boy-terrorist could have transferred a weapon, when his mother held him in his arms. Tunnel-vision and intensive programming. Recently a charter-plane was flying from Casablanca to Amsterdam. The airport was busy and the plane had to wait. I think that the captain was entertaining his passengers by playing Moroccan Music. A couple of minutes later, two
jetfighters apear. The captain calls air traffic-control and asks: “Am I hijacked?” The answer: “Are you hijacked?” Because of the music Amsterdam Airport had concluded, that the plane had been hijacked. Immediately the necessary steps were taken (in the air and on the ground!). It all was an, expensive, mistake.

On April 1st, Foolsday, a strange object was reported in one of the harbours of L. From a distance it looked like an ancient sea mine, used in the 20-40's of the last century. It was floating peacefully on the waves. Immediately panic struck. The area was cleared and secured by the police. The mine was constantly monitored and filmed. Part of the plan is to alarm the “National Bomb Squad”, stationed 250 kilometers away. When they finally arrived, it was soon discovered that the sea-mine was a joke. It was constructed of plastic, wood and some metal strips. The mayor, responsible for the operation, instructs the police to find the “terrorists”. He will make them pay.

Experts call this “the mean world syndrome”. In the media we are bombarded by suicide-bombers, terror attacks on major cities, crime rates and the destruction of our society.
Here in the Netherlands the safety-quote is 98%. Most of the time and most of your life you are safe and free to act.
Use this 98% well and the other 2% will fade away.
and the other 2% will fade away.
