Panic Shelters - Why?

Right now we see a lot of fear in our society, but there isn't anything new under the sun. In fact, people have built panic rooms out of fear. Does it sound ridiculous? Yes, but when people think a nuclear bomb is going to hit their country they do that. They started in Egypt, actually, ancient Egypt. The pyramids had secret rooms to protect the Pharoah's treasures from thieves. This may not be the best example, but it's the first example. What is a panic room? It's a room that someone can run into when things go terribly wrong, most likely locking themselves in with provisions for weeks or days of hiding. This is going farther than "stay home" - it is barricading yourself in your house. I don't suggest doing this for anything short of a nuclear attack.
