I am posting this article because I find it strange that Newsweek never seems to include the "thousands" of future deaths it and other predict due to 9/11 related illnesses in its numbers every time I see one of these articles about how fears of terrorism are irrational.

Why would you ever feel safe in NYC or Washington, D.C.?

There are a million or so people in Manhattan most of the time. THE worst attack killed roughly 3,000. That makes your chance of being killed in a terrorist attack as (3,000/1,000,000)^(days since 9/11)

I am not going to do the math, but it is probably in the trillions to one range.

There are a lot of other things that are going to kill you before ISIL.

Probably the two most evil cities on the planet. Globalist elites, corrupt politicians (I know that’s a redundancy).

True. They were both attacked on 9/11, but I think that the elites would prefer to attack somewhere in flyover country. That being said, You probably have more to fear from being in a victim disarmament zone within a police/surveillance state.

Since both locations do not respect the 2nd Amendment, thus leaving you disarmed, No.

I do not feel safe as long as Hussein Obama is President.

With Obama ,Biden and Kerry in charge Plus all the other appointments by Obama No one in this country is truly safe.
Not withstanding Obama’s dismissal of many fine Officers from our Military Forces, Obama forcasts more doom and gloom.
Our Republican congress does Nothing .

Normally I’d feel very safe in NYC, but would stay away from Times Square on NY’s Eve.

Live in fear if you want to. I’ve news for you, you’re going to die somewhere, sometime, anyway, so why worry? Live your life!

You should ask the question:

Given our President is flooding America with young Muslim men, and has deemed CAIR as his “go to” group for all issues Muslim with support from the highest levels of DOJ - should I feel safe?

New York and Washington are more likely terrorist targets than other U.S. cities

Frankly, I'm having a hard time seeing a downside to that. In 2012, NYC voted over 80% for Obama and DC voted 91%. Somewhere in there, there may be some karma at work, I suppose.

Even being the bulls-eye for 9-11 didn't seem to phase NYC for very long. They've gone back to their old ways or worse, if possible. Electing DiBlowsio is another indicator of how far Left they are.

Nobody would wish an attack on anybody. But if ISIS is going to pick somebody over here, those two are as good as any.

Agitprop. The terrorism issue hurts the left, thus one of their mouthpieces is mobilized to spin the tale that”it’s really safe out there.”

Like a chapter out of Animal Farm, really.

We/family had a trip planned for DC a few weeks ago. Cancelled because of the threats made...I felt no reason to walk into a hornets nest.

No, you should feel terrorized.
Mission accomplished.
Turn in your guns.
