The best defense against truck-ramming terrorism is with simple physical barriers. There is no need to panic.

Especially there is no need to authorize increased surveillance of people in general. The Berlin truck attacker was a known known terrorist sympathizer who had been investigated and was facing deportation soon.

This specific suspicion could have been used (and, I expect, was used) to obtain orders for surveillance and searches targeted at him personally. Increases in surveillance of everyone in Germany would have provided no more information about him.

It looks like they have lots of possible suspects (only a tiny fraction of whom will actually commit any crime) that they can't keep close tabs on all of them.

Why Time Management Is Ruining Our Lives.

If the work you do is essential for fighting injustice or preventing disaster, perhaps it is really desirable for you to work as much as possible. Otherwise, you shouldn't have to work so hard, and the reason you do is because an exploitative system wants to extract as much as it can from you. Rather than working hard for it, better to organize against it.
