When it comes to defending one's citizens, the attitude of "that'll probably never happen, it'll be fine" doesn't exactly sound like a solid foundation. And I doubt any government around the world, worth its salt, has that attitude. True, it all sounds like scaremongering, but the question is: what's stopping people from actually doing this?

What logical sense is there in thinking they will not follow the changes in technology today? The events described are but a possibility. Yet, I do feel we should not dismiss it, simply because we don't like it.
