National paranoia index

Unisys is using market survey techniques to assess public perceptions of the state of security in various nations. I'm not entirely clear quite what the survey tells us (other than the general state of paranoia in the countries surveyed), or what use it is (apart from the pharmaceuticals companies selling brain-calming drugs), but no doubt selected numbers will magically appear in assorted PowerPoint slide decks in due course supporting all sorts of hypotheses.
