To quote a cheesy line, "freedom isn't free." Part of the price we pay to be a free society is to accept a little more risk. The risk of you being killed by terrorism is miniscule. It's so tiny that it's lower than the risk of being struck by lightning, or dying in your own bathtub at home, or being hit by a car while crossing the street... and on and on and on. Nearly every possible way you could die that you can think of has higher odds than being killed by terrorism.

What is truly sad to observe since 9/11 is how many Americans are cowards who are easily manipulated by fear-mongering into supporting politicians and policies that play on their irrational fears of terrorism.
