No Borders... Here's One Of The Reasons.

Is it that the European Union took into consideration that Armed forces would be scouring the
streets of France, Belgium and other countries, for terrorists?

They must be so proud of their acumen.

(Notice the scooter in the image...? It's relevant when looking at robberies and hold-ups in London)

Scooters are fantastic things for no-gooders. I remember in Nicaragua and El Salvador back in the 80's that they were made use of by assassin teams. Bastards would weave in and out of the crazy traffic between cars going every-whicha-way, pull up alongside their target in the traffic, pop him, and weave on out of the morass and be gone before anyone could follow them. They'd wear helmets to avoid identification - and for the safety guidelines, I'm sure. You'd have to watch in every direction, especially behind you, for approaching scooters and be ready to deal with them in an instant if they went suddenly south. That's why shoulder holsters are great things - they come in handy for quickly drawing a pistol while seated (which is your usual mode in a car) with a minimum of fumbling and a maximum of fire return. My old shoulder holster still hangs on a hook above my throne here in my Man Cave, along with my duty gun belt and a shamshir sword, right above a trash can full of other swords I've collected along the way. The Iron Throne ain't got nothin' on my man cave, except maybe in aesthetics!

As for the rest (I got that line out of terrorist magazines - I knew I'd find somewhere to use it, eventually! - it's SOP here in the States, Even the dinky little underpopulated counties around here boast a SWAT team each - it was in the next county over where Grace and I had to face one down one dark and stormy night. Never thought I'd live to see militarized cops here way back when I left this area, but here they are. This dinky little town I live nearest to even has a blasted armored car! I see it parked across from the police station every time we head out into the world to visit Walmart. If it came up through this valley on a serious mission, I doubt it would last as long as lightning on a limb, because there are too many bridges and choke points between here and where it sits parked... but still, it's there, as a reminder.

Welcome to our world!
Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
