Which one of the two is a citizen of the continental US (especially a person likely engaged in an illegal activity) likely to encounter?
Terrorists tend to do a big splashy 'thing' that gets a lot of people at once. But they are very rarely ever actually seen/encountered. It is far more likely, especially if one is given to engaging in illegal behavior, that a police officer will be encountered.
However, only one of the pair usually actually really wants to kill you. The other will if they must, but would likely prefer not to.
