I'm not really sure what's ridiculous about this, it's the same as any negligence action. If they can prove that the government agency should have instituted additional safety measures and didn't they have a legitimate claim. The fact that things have progressed to this stage, and that they have an expert testifying on their behalf, seems to indicate that there is at least an argument to be made that reasonable measures were not taken to prevent an attack like this.
