Holder says U.S. malls should 'step up' security: CNN

WASHINGTON Fri Feb 27, 2015 8:05am EST

(Reuters) - Shopping mall operators need to increase security through more staff, cameras and other techniques in light of threats made against the Mall of America in Minnesota and other shopping centers by Somali-based Islamist militants this week, outgoing U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said.

"I certainly think we have to step up our sensitivities to what goes on in these commercial enterprises," Holder said in an interview with CNN that aired on Friday. "It would be the responsible thing for operators of these malls to increase their capabilities when it comes to keeping people safe who are just going about their everyday lives."

The republicans are sitting on their hands,
refusing to fully fund our security
without political gimmicks attached.
Assholes.

Be afraid! This is important. It has a psychological impact that is very useful when applied to large numbers of people.

Oh, worry more, too! Think about how bad the future could be. Danger is lurking everywhere.

That may be true, but one has to come to terms with probability and the insecurity of life.

Meanwhile, your economic status is no big deal. That works, too! Please be a good citizen and worry about bills, pay, losing your apartment and your home. Oh, what's that you say? Your next unexpected financial emergency could put you on the streets? Well, we won't be stepping up financial security because this one is does the job! Worry more. Think about why, less. Remain in a constant state of struggle and get your servitude on. WIN!
