Pak: UGLY HEAD of Security (or the lack of it) Pops Up as Suicide Bomber blows himself in United Nations Office!

...The attack is a horrendously disturbing development given that the United Nations compound is a heavily fortified three-story building equipped with the latest in security infrastructure that includes; video surveillance cameras, explosives detection devices and motion detectors. Both ends of the street leading to the building are barricaded, visitors and vehicles are allowed in only after a thorough security check is carried out and the periphery walls are protected with barbed fencing to ward off infiltrators.

That the breach happened despite all this raises many a disturbing question. How did a heavily armed stranger in the fatigues of a paramilitary trooper make it through a multi-layered security? Was there insider assistance available to the bomber from the security deployed at the building? If so, how deep does the covert assistance run? What additional security measures would the UN now need to put in place to pre-empt such attacks in future?

More importantly, is this attack a warning to the US backed Pakistani Army bracing for a full-fledged offensive on the tribal region of South Waziristan, a Taliban stronghold?

Your views on queries raised above please...

I think security has become too focused upon weapons, and not people. In order to be secure we need to see this change. A terrorist can do a lot of damage with tools that are not normally considered to be weapons. On the other hand, a weapon in a average citizen's hands is harmless. If a person knows they will be stopped at the metal detectors, and has evil intentions, they will improvise...

This is why I don't like to see these deals where people with a history of bad intentions are allowed to run around before they are known to be safe:
* California runs out of money so they turn their prisoners loose,
* Guantanamo becomes unpopular so they turn detainees loose there,
* Israel wants to see proof of life video tapes, so they release prisoners in exchange,
* Mehdi Ghezali gets released to Sweden, claims he is depressed when they monitor him, so they don't... and he goes back to Pakistan
and that is just a list of some of the recent examples.

Meanwhile, honest citizens are asked to pay more in taxes to track down, capture, defend, and entertain these people, while the honest citizen's right to self defense is becoming increasingly curtailed. Efforts that would make sense, such as a border fence, seem to be delayed or vetoed, and law enforcement has their hands tied in doing their part too.
