I suspect, Sparrow, that those of us in the UK, who've grown up with terrorism being a "fact of life" throughout our lives, perhaps treat it with less concern than people in those countries, such as the US, in which it might be perceived by some as a relatively recent phenomenon.
When I worked as a government scientist for many years, we all had a "mirror on a stick" with which to look underneath our cars every morning for bombs. Thankfully, those days are past.
