It's completely irrational. Those odds that Dragline mentioned are actually much much much lower for most Americans. The only Americans at real risk for terrorism are those that travel in certain regions and those that live in NYC and DC, and the two possible outliers are Chicago and LA (though, still unlikely). No terrorist is going to attack Cleveland, Pittsburgh, KC, etc. They probably can't even find them on a map.jennypenny wrote:I don't think it's that irrational.
Even there biggest weapon is more of an economic threat than a deadly one. (you will have to give them your email address to read it)

This touches on what I have said for a long time. People are terrible at judging risk.
