However we are not in a stable society like that.

Things change - e.g. 50 years ago no online chats, no drones, very little terrorism, travel was more costly and slower, medical drugs were less efficient, live span was shorter.

I agree with your broader point - but this article is about the UK and I can assure you, 50 years ago the UK did not have "very little terrorism"

Same in the US. It was not a good time. The FBI recorded five bombings a day in 1971-72. Airliners were being hijacked once a week at the peak around then.
