Rfv-sense "(counterterrorism) The act of taking visible countermeasures against terrorism." I suspect this stems from w:Securitization (international relations), "the act of presenting something as a security threat". The specific case of securitizing terrorism leads to political pressures to "do something" about terrorism, which leads to "visible countermeasures". However, the act of securitizing is conceptually distinct from the implementation of countermeasures.__Gamren (talk) 15:45, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- It looks easy to cite, eg, from this Google books search, though the usage seems less about countermeasures than about the policy of making terrorism a target of the national security apparatus, perhaps as opposed to the police system. DCDuring (talk) 16:51, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- That sounds like an example of the definition I just added.__Gamren (talk) 20:17, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
