[kictanet] A simple security question

[Moses Muya]

While I was getting into one of the malls yesterday, I jokingly told the
security personnel that I had a bomb in my bag(I didn't BTW). They told me
that if I had one, we(myself and security) were the only ones who would die
since they would do their best to restrict me, even if it meant losing
their lives for the sake of the many others! In short, their only 'skill
for restricting a terror attack' was getting killed!
