I do not agree with Deputy Munster. I think there is a growing perception that there is a danger. However, there certainly was a belief among people that there was a lesser chance. That is part of the equation. This is certainly an area where we have to do a certain amount of work to create that atmosphere. That is what we are at. I accept what Deputy Munster is saying. That was the case for some time. That is one of the reasons people are taking chances. We have to increase the number of checkpoints and we are doing it.
