Humans are not logical animals when it comes to the judgement of risk of harm. Sadly, the only way to counter this (public awareness campaigns, education) are not happening, in fact the reverse is happening: media hysteria about terrorist attacks, actual and &#x27;potential&#x27;, governments releasing information on, e.g.,  &#x27;what to do in a hostage situation&#x27;, which only exacerbate the effect of the terror campaign.
