Aviv and the author of this article are both imbeciles. The main point of a ready kit is for a "run-of-the-mill" emergency, like a bad storm or a power outage, or for those displaced by such events. Those things happen all the time, while terrorist attacks on American soil are incredibly rare. But if and when the next big attack occurs, nobody thinks a ready kit is going to save you if a bomb blows up right underneath your chair. However, if that bomb blows up a few doors down, the kit will make your life for the following few days a hell of a lot more tolerable and will also take a little bit of weight off of the authorities that'll have to take care of the umpteen thousands evacuated along with you that DON'T have a kit.
