The Price to Pay

It is best to look at another example.

Level crossings and other places where roads cross railways are a constant source of danger. We have had two major accidents and many minor ones of this type in the past few years.

But the cost of making every crossing safe would be prohibitive. It would cause rail fares to rise to such a level as to make people travel by road. Now as road travel is inherently less safe, then there would actually be more deaths, by making something else safer at a great cost.

There is only one way to ensure safety from bombers. And that is for everyone of us to be vigilant.
