Why the he'll is there army men in the Paris underground? Oh right I forgot, although we're not at war in any kind of way, apparently we're meant to be never safe enough in the Paris transports nor in the streets. So our sweet government set factions of bored army and police men (remember we're not at war so they have nothing else to do) everywhere in French cities.
But seriously, do you feel any more secured when you have armed men watching you with a suspicious look while you cross the corridors of the tube dressed all smart to go to work? And anyways, they shouldn't give anyone that mean look for whatever reasons they find odd about you: look, race, the language you speak on the phone (because you're a tourist or a polyglot)...
Personally, I return them their look or comment when passing in front of them.
But seriously, wouldn't it be smatter if we really are SO unsafe to just have undercover people that watch us all but in an undercover/natural way?
Oh but I forgot, our government wants us to feel unsafe so using clever methods to counter whatever actual danger or terrorism is no something that fits into there National Security plans...
Well, all we can do is hope that their current plans do work in some ways : they surely will give them-selves a tap on the back because there was no terror actions during their reign!
