Existing railway techniques and technologies, together with terrorist tactics, definitely have influence on the research and development of new security technologies for protecting railway systems against terrorist attacks. Influence of railways on everyday life in Europe and vice versa is well-known and is at present part of European style of living (culture). An instrument in achieving terrorist goals is creating a general feeling of anxiety and fear which implies the change of everyday lifestyle. The development and use of new equipment and technologies has a big impact on everyday life, either positive or negative. If we want to preserve and develop our way of life, and European culture, we must be careful with a request for total control of everyday life, because total surveillance over passengers does not mean better security for public and railway systems. This means that our culture, which we want to preserve, must have influence on determining the operational requirements on new equipment and security technologies.
