           %INTEGRATION TRUE SECURITY SYSTEM ADDICT 870602

     For any system to offer true security it must be well
integrated    into    the   total   structure    of    the
society/community  to  which it offers security.   If  the
members  of  the community are alienated from and  do  not
understand  and  trust the security system they  will  not
feel secure with it.  If the members of the community have
unrealistic  expectations of the security system,   doubts
are bound to arise and undermine their sense of  security;
they will be unable to trust the system to offer them true
security.

     A  true  system which offers true  security  must  be
dynamically stable;  robust in the face of changes brought
about  by the threats to security.   No static system  can
offer  true  security,  for the threats  to  security  are
constantly  changing.   A  true security system must be of
such  a character that it is clear that it can be  trusted
to  offer  true security even after there have  been  both
expected and unexpected kinds of change.

     A  true security system will make  realistic  demands
upon available resources.   A  system which would  operate
only with unlimited resources will fail  if the  resources
are  limited  and inadequate  to  meet  the  challenge  of
whatever  threatens  to  undermine  the  security  of  the
community.   A  true security system does not  depend upon
more:  intelligence,  technical  manpower, quick  decision
making capacity,  coordination,  energy, information, etc.
than is actually available.

     A  true  security  system  is based  upon  an  honest
assessment of the costs and benefits which are involved in
depending upon it.   Addicts who can not be honest can not
sustain a true system for offering security.  Participants
in collusions can not be honest when  they most need to be
honest,   and can not be trusted to  offer  true  security
through any system which  they devise.  People who can not
be honest in the most trying situations can not be trusted
to be in charge of a true security system.  If you can not
trust your people in charge  of your security system to be
honest, you can not be truly secure.

     A  true security system will thus be reality only  if
it  is genuinely integrated into and part of the integrity
of  the  community  and  persons to whom  it  offers  true
security.
