People who are terrified of terrorists are people who do not understand simple probability. The chance of being killed by a terrorist is probably less than one in 10,000 of being killed in a car.



People pay no attention to getting in a car, but walk around stressed about terrorists. They are probably the same people that buy lotto tickets.
