Because instilling this type of paranoia in children is likely to cause more harm to the mental health of their generation (in total), than those very few bad events that this behavior stops?
Also, it seems to me that this has been going on for a generation already, as more and more young adults are now hyper-fragile, calling for authoritarian responses to anything that scares them. The end result may very well be that those children will place a "strong leader" in power when they grow up, someone like Putin or Chavez.

Nobody gets a finger pointed at them for the slow institutionalization of instilling paranoia in children. But have it come out that you saw the stranger who shot up the school and didn't call security...? It's pure CYA.
