I'm really concerned because there are lots of porous gaps, which could be used by terrorists against innocent Kenyans. Even if I sense the guards might identify a bomb, what about luggage deposits or undergound parkings? Methinks there ought to be electronic scanners, just like the ones found in airports to provide maximum security. There is an update doing rounds on facebook of how cell phones are used as guns, and I wonder we have mechanisms for safeguarding our security , at the least expected places. Fom the foregoing, it's apparent that we are good at react instead of preventing a calamity from taking place. On 27/06/2012, Kivuva <Kivuva@transworldafrica.com> wrote:

(b) they will run without looking back...but you should:

Turn in the opposite direction and take one giant step. 2. Drop to the floor immediately, face down. 3. Cross your legs, keeping them straight with your feet pointing toward the grenade. We cross legs to protect vital organs, arteries and nerves on the legs. 4. Keep your arms at the back of your head at the nape of the neck these also will protect major ar-teries. 5. Keep your mouth open to balance pressure so your eardrums don't burst

While I was getting into one of the malls yesterday, I jokingly told the security personnel that I had a bomb in my bag(I didn't BTW). They told me that if I had one, we(myself and security) were the only ones who would die since they would do their best to restrict me, even if it meant losing their lives for the sake of the many others! In short, their only 'skill for restricting a terror attack' was getting killed!

Apologies for cross-posting.

This is a non-ICT related issue, but touches on people's security. Someone help me out. This is just a hypothesis:

Let's say I'm carrying an IED in my back bag and attempt to enter a supermarket, the guard, with a metal detector, rolls the detector on me, asks me what I have in the back, and I say, Laptop. He lets me in.

Do the security guards have training on handling bombs, or once a blast takes place, they run without looking back
