Hi Gregory!

14 Apr 2016 19:17, from Gregory Deyss -> Joe Delahaye:

I know ... and I disagree completely with you ;)

 GD> You counterpoint is ridiculous,

No.
It is backed up by facts!

Yes.
For that very improbable scenario it increases your chance.
But then again how often where you personally threatened by a terrorist attack.

How many people die per year on average through terrorist attacks in the USA?
How many people die in car accidents per year?
How many people die because of shootings because of easy access to guns?

And the counterpart to the increased chances in that extremely rare case of a
terrorist attack in your close personal proximity is a massively hightened risk
to die through shooting.

CU, Ricsi
