Lately, threats of terrorism against countries around the world have been on the rise. South Korea is no exception. Terrorism usually happens in places where a mass of people are gathered. Trains, which many students are going to take to go home for this Chuseok, Korean Thanksgiving, are one of the possible targets.

With the threat of terrorism, many students may feel ill at ease. However, fears may be allayed because from this Aug. 23, the government started to inspect random passengers in four stations (Seoul, Osong, Iksan and Busan Station) and people on random trains.

This may not completely eliminate all threats, but the trip home may be safer than ever because there were no inspections like this ever before. The Argus hopes we can live in a safer world with new policies for safety from terrorism.
