Frivolous fear mongering

This is a good example of a trumped-up prediction by security experts and consultants whose aim is to create the illusion of danger in an attempt to increase their own business. The story may have well claimed that laid-off teachers or autoworkers may turn to crime (except that's not as scary to corporate America). Ninety-five percent of the time the people who commit crimes are still on the inside. How many investment and mortgage bank scandals do we need to see to understand that the unemployed are nowhere near our biggest concern?
