The infrastructure, finances, and support that some of these terrorist groups have is pretty substantial, and it is much more feasible for a non-state actor to do something crazy, like set off a large bomb in a U.S. city.
Yes, a bomb could go off in a major city, but the chances of being killed by a terrorist are so small that being afraid of it is the definition if moronic.
It's like being afraid of being in a mass shooting.
Yes, I'm equating people who fear being killed by a terrorist to anti-gun nuts who fear mass shootings every day.
They are both irrational.
quote:I'd say the odds of me being hit by either are so low that they practically equal.
Odds are still low, but I'd put money on being hit by an Islamic terrorist group before NK.

This is the exact opinion of the Progressives to whom I refer in my previous post.
Their view is that we need to stop all of these "War on Terror" activities, because the odds of one person being harmed in a terror attack are very small.
We'd save a LOT of money if we simply accept these few thousand casualties a year from terror attacks.
