For example, he figured that if terrorists were to destroy entirely one of America's 40,000 shopping malls per week, your chances of being there at the wrong time would be about one in one million or more.Here is the problem with this stupid article. What are the chances that someone you love and care about is in one of these malls? Or that innocent fellow Americans are being slaughtered? Don't worry, it's not you who is being killed...
This is stupid reasoning that people are only worrying about themselves, which is absolutely selfish liberalism. Does this guy care if his family is blown up on a plane or is he just worried about #1?

the other moronic thing about this analysis is major terrorist attacks can devastate the economy, so it STILL affects you

Uuuh, the point of the article is that the odds of dying from a terrorist attack is much smaller than dying from any of those other causes. That means the same goes for your loved ones. Your aunt has a better chance of dying by falling than being killed in a terrorist attack. Your sister has a better chance of having a heart attack than dying from terrorism. Get it now, brainiac?
