Risk from terrorists, risk from snooping, same difference--low probability Not sure how you equate terrorist risk versus snooping risk. The former makes you quite dead.

Your camera is considerably different from mine. We have been hit over and over by AQ and the muslim terrorists. How many years? Since 1972, I think. It is clear to me that they will continue until we (the USA) stop them. No other country is yet convinced or prepared to do so. These countries will get religion (no pun) as the attacks continue through out the world.

BTW, I don't go to sleep each worrying about the next attack. My family knows what to do and when to do it.

They have had more than one "lucky shot", karen. Remember the WTCI bombing...1993....Seems to me that people got killed in that blast, many got wounded, business'es were hurt, the buildings were very damaged....and billions spent again looking for these people.

en.wikipedia.org

Plus of course, all the other bombings on our sovereign territory in the Embassies, and Military buildings, and ships...etc.

More than one "lucky shot" for sure.

As spectacular as 9/11 was, it in no way came close to toppling the U.S.A. The country is in far worse danger from the Bush administration's distain for the Constitution.
