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.
