People would much rather think they're safe than actually be safe. Even if this 'scare tatic' were to work, how long do you think it would last.

Think of how people feel about the security of the US now vs on early 2002. Yet look at how well we've fared http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/911reportcard.pdf

The illusion of security keeps people happy, and even if you make people aware, chances are they won't actually do much about it.
