Help with Assasination Issue

[Seculartopia]

As you very well know, a masked stranger with a pistol made an attempt on your life but moments ago while you were out on your lunch break. An emergency meeting has been called right here in the middle of the street after the would-be assassin disappeared over a nearby grassy knoll.
The Debate

1.

"Oh dear! Oh dearie me, that was so rude!" coos your personal assistant, adjusting your tie. "You'll just have to prove to the citizens of Seculartopia that you are a good and benevolent leader, and don't deserve to be brutally shot in the head! The only way to keep you safe is to make the public like you! Do something nice for them! Might I suggest a nice tax cut?"

2.

"What makes you think it's a member of the general public behind this?" asks your Head of Security, Buffy Mistletoe. "It's more likely to be the work of some underground separatist group trying to remove you from power! We've let them have their protests and their rallies and their free speech, and now they've taken it to the next level! We should be cracking down on this insolence instead of rewarding it! Show the people what happens to those who dare to question your authority. You've got to remind them that you, Leader, are their Lord and Master!"

3.

"Whoa there! Let's not be too hasty, bruv!" says law-abiding citizen, Konrad Winters, casually walking up to you and flinging an arm around your shoulder. "This sort of thing wouldn't be a problem at all if you just beefed up your personal security a bit. You could hire a few extra bodyguards and get yourself a shiny new armoured car! Nobody could touch you!"

4.

"Hah! Like that will work!" snorts George W. Johnson, Minister of Waste Disposal and Sanitation. "They'll just come after the rest of us and destroy the government from the bottom up! No, we need to go even further - reinforce the Parliament! We'll turn Seculartopia City into an impenetrable fortress! Robot bodyguards, food tasters... no expense should be spared! We should all do our jobs through a complex network of computers so we never have to leave the safety of our offices again!"

I am looking to legalize something sorta authoritative and protective, but not overtrusive by much on people's right to protest.

[Freedomstaki]

Heh, just got the same issue... go with 3?

You get a shiny new car!

[Weylara]

Yeah, I picked 3 too and got "Weylara's leader now goes out to lunch surrounded by men in dark glasses"

[Richalley]

Yeah, I picked 3 too and got "Weylara's leader now goes out to lunch surrounded by men in dark glasses"

That's kind of awesome. Very Men In Black.

I say go for three! :D

Pick the last one like I did. It gives you a giant, ominous flying castle for a parliament

[Carbarosia]

I chose 3.

Go with number one, taxes are 85% in your nation who would choose to work if 85% of their cash goes to state?
