AMSTERDAM - The Netherlands is scared. After the attacks in Brussels everyone thinks about how to avoid that we will soon be victim. There are solutions, but they cost serious money and require political courage.
1. Boundaries close
On achieving the very short term, as the Royal Military Police had (KMAR) seen yesterday with checks at the Belgian border. It involves sampling, not a hundred percent checks at Schiphol as happens at risk flights. Therefore the system is not foolproof. Moreover, the KMAR can already struggling with labor shortages to accept not endure permanently without additional troops. Where better border control is desired, The Hague must be willing substantial money for it to clear.
Disadvantage of additional controls is that they are a nuisance and economic loss. During the evening rush hour yesterday stood 35 kilometers traffic jam at the border and had road three minutes more travel time. Especially in the transport cuts it inside. Branch organization Transport and Logistics Netherlands calculated that additional border control members nearly two million euros per day cost of lost hours.
2. Sharpen oversight
An approach which just now is used as after Paris. As the mayor of Amersfoort decided to greater security around the performance of The Passion. Bags and coats will be searched. After Paris has already decided to keep the police and gendarmerie additional monitoring stations. Tighter controls are also possible in the short term at football stadiums. About this tighter controls nobody made him angry, so for that politics does not have to leave.
