I was living in Montreal in the 70's when the FLQ was tring to take over, we had the army to secure the town, the army passed on my street with their trucks and military armed vehicle. I never felt in any danger, it was scary on the TV, but not in reality. Two inches of snow fall here now and people go nuts if it is not all plowed and salted within the hour, what the hell, we had feets of snow before on the roads and it was just a fun chanlenge with our rear wheel cars and winter tires only on the rear! Everything is getting very cocooning.
What about all the people that live in gated and even guarded communities, Mexico or USA, is it because crime rate is going down or up? Is it because their town is the safest place to be? I think more and more people are just getting paranoid and cannot make a reasonable judjement call because all they hear is bad news flowing from eveywhere. Why are they choosing this type of security? Remove the gates and fences and see what happens.
