JF, This is not a rational response to the least of all likely threats to your life.
I don't recall the responses to Columbine, the anthrax scare, the D.C. snipers, etc., to be all that rational, either.
And besides, 9/11 didn't just kill 3,000 citizens, it also brought the most metropolitian city in the world down in an instant. Millions of people were affected. Sure, they lived, but that's not something they really want to live through again, considering the HUGE disruption to their lives.
I understand your argument against irrationality, but let's not reduce 9/11 to something as mundane as a guy falling off a ladder, or an idiot driver on a cell phone causing an accident.
