Attacks generate unanticipated consequences:
• They cause spiraling problems in the economy and, thus, a sense of insecurity
when families who once relied on tourism are now unemployed and face the potential loss of food, shelter, and safety in their personal lives.
• Insecurity reinforces the idea that humans cannot trust each other but must always be on guard or prepared for attack or assault.
• When the risk is perceived as being too high, people will avoid possibly insecure places altogether.
