&gt; People aren&#x27;t scared of dying in traffic or by a preventable medical error. Maybe they should, but they aren&#x27;t. Those risks are real, but they don&#x27;t affect how people go about their lives. Terrorism is a tiny risk of death but an enormous cost in terms of percieved safety.<p>The perception stems from the difference in media coverage and political grandstanding imho.<p>At least you have a legitimate objection, I just don&#x27;t agree with it.
