I think the problem is that we spend way too much time, money and resources worrying about terrorism.
Even in 2001, Terrorism deaths only matched about 1 month of car crash deaths. Terrorism is not even in the top 10 of un-natural death causes. Essentially every month is a september 11th on the highways, and no one seems very scared or worried.
Wouldn't all the money and time put into terrorism fighting and prevention be better applied to increases in auto safety where a substantial amount of lives could be saved.
If the government and media didn't focus so much attention on terrorisms, perhaps we could have elected a government that actually cared about real issues that actually effect people's every day lives.
