To be fair the Spanish word for security is the same as the Spanish word for safety: seguridad. It could as easily be a ‘safety’ alarm and a mistranslation.

I do not Spanish to assert whether it is true, but it is often said about German and there it is not true. I think the issue, that it is often mixed in daily speech, but that's true for English as well.

I'd bet this "safety" alarm was minor or bogus, not worth risking lives over.
