Look at the numbers...

The US population is approaching 300,000,000.

A group as small as Al Quada is capable of an attack that could kill ~5,000 people at once. 5,000 is considered a HUGE attack.

If the rumors of stapping a bomb to a suicide bomber on foot are true they will at the most be able to kill 100 people at once?

I'm not saying anyone should walk around with their heads in their asses. I'm suggesting that even if you wanted to be a victim of a terrorist attack, statistically you wouldn't be!

41,000 people die every year in Auto Accidents on US Highways
4,000 people drown every year in the US

The impact of the fear terrorists are able to cause is more damaging than any attack they could ever perform.

I'm going to Las Vegas for New Years out of spite for terrorists.
