It's more important to keep the masses scared by reminding them about the terrorism that could befall them at any moment.
Not scared just informed.It's more important to keep the masses scared by reminding them about the terrorism that could befall them at any moment.
Really, in what way does the sign depicted scare anyone?

You can't see the implication that people are planting bombs in train stations?
Seems smart to me. They get 1000's of eyes every day to do their job. I don't think people are standing on the platform petrified. Most are just humming along to their iPod.
Not specifically, if that's the sole message it conveys to you then I can only assume that you have very limited powers of comprehension.
A Police State? A simple sign cautioning people to be aware of their surrounds suggests to you that you live in a Police State? Do you sleep with the light on as well?
Crime is pretty common in train stations around the world. Kinda makes sense.
So according to you Victoria is a Police State? You clearly have no knowledge of the meaning of 'Police State', to hopefully enlighten/educate you here is the meaning "Police state is a term that originally designated a state regulated by a civil administration, but since the middle of the 20th Century, the term has "taken on the emotional and derogatory meaning of a government that exercises power arbitrarily through the police." Try North Korea, Saudi Arabia or Russia, now there's some Police States for you, if you think that Victoria resembles them in anyway I can only presume that you have an extremely vivid imagination and it might be in your best interests to move elsewhere.
Ii think you read too much into it. They're more about stopping a mugging than a bombing. If anything, public awareness and cctv has reduced police presence at stations.
Pretty sure 'if you see something, say something' was tag line of the 'omgz da terrorist r coming!!' ad campaigns we had.
If you read the bottom of that sign it has the number for the national security hotline.
'I saw a guy with a turban, SEND HELICOPTERS!!!!'

I reckon the length of the mate is roughly inversely proportional to how aggressive/unfriendly it is e.g.:
'Watch your fcukin mouth mate' -> 'How's it going mayte' -> 'Maaaaaate, you legend!'
Might just be me though.
Really? If I was just a tourist going down that escalator that's what I'd think. I'd believe it was just telling me the emergency number like any station in the world. I wouldn't be scared by it.
