If a serial killer were killing young women whom he picked up in bars, should this information not be communicated because it might make young women who go to bars afraid of going to bars?
Wouldn't it be the height of irresponsibility NOT to make this information (and the attendant risks) public?
The posting of a sign does not preclude the authorities from taking action to prevent what is happening from happening. Shouldn't the objection be if the authorities do nothing other than post a sign, rather than making people aware of the threat?
