How Safe Are We?

Today, as everyday, I was on way to my workplace on a local train with my daily friends and copassengers. One of them happens to be a rice miller. Being a rice miller puts him somewhere in a category of millionaires. He is a loudmouth. He was telling a story. His daughter is married and out of India. She happened to need some money and wanted it from her account. the Rice miller father armed with an authority letter not specifically for Bank's purpose, wanted to draw money. When the counter clerk objected, he went to the Manager, dropped names, and got the amount withdrawn.
The rice miller had no mala fide intention, and he was actually working on behalf of her daughter. But the bankers, as the custodian of deposited money, had ethical, moral, legal and technical right to disallow the father from withdrawing money. However, the father was irked on being prevented from having her say. His very common jibe is "जानते नहीं हो क्या?" and तुम अभी हमको पहचानते नहीं हो.
Amazing is it not? I think we should feel safe and pleased if some custodian is so honest to his job that he would not allow even the known ersons from getting undue favour. We don't. We are instantly hurt if the TTE comes and asks for our tickets, even if he might be recognising us, a policewalla stops us for security check, or we are asked to follow the queue to pay some bill or take a ticket.
In Mumbai, an acquaintance told that it tkes just Rs. 500.00 to get oneself verified to take a house on rent.
Why should terrorists feel unsecured in India. They are not likely to be checked or verified anywhere. Why raise finger on the government then, or even on Pakistan for that matter. We as a Nation are ready to take attackers. And we will be facing them a dime a dozen.
