Well, here are the recent news: http://www.planetark.com/dailynewsstory.cfm/newsid/28739/story.htm

As this is merely a declaration of intentions, under a strong emotional climate, there is a popular saying here: we only change locks when our house is robbed. The problem is only countries that have their basic needs fullfiled tend to invest is such an expensive detection system, when the probability that it will help to prevent a human disaster is so small.

All we can do now is help in every way each of us can, and think about the disasters we CAN minimize.
