I have been giving considerable thought to paying the monthly fee to activate our alarm system. I honestly don't think that it would keep a terrorist of any sort from invading a space they are determined to invade. Maybe it would give me a half-hearted sense of security, at least enough to let the children go back to sleeping in their own bed. Or just maybe I would realize that it isn't going to make any difference whether I have my alarm set if a car bomb blows up outside of my building. I probably wouldn't be any less worried, as I seem to be a professional at this sort of thing lately.
