MI5 advises MPs to build safe rooms at home with bulletproof walls

The National Protective Security Authority (NPSA), part of the UK's domestic counter-intelligence and security agency, has advised public figures, including MPs, to install secure 'safe rooms' with bulletproof walls and deterrent mechanisms such as fog machines and timed lights. This guidance was issued three months prior to the death of Ann Widdecombe, a former Conservative MP and public figure, who was found dead at her home in Devon after a 'targeted attack.' A 28-year-old man has been arrested in connection with her murder but remains uncharged. The NPSA recommends reducing potential hiding spots around properties and using security measures to protect against intruders.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the NPSA's advisory recommendations as factual information without overt ideological slant. It reports on security measures recommended for public figures and connects these to a specific case involving a prominent politician. There is no clear editorialization favoring one side
