"According to the report, the number of U.S. citizens who died in
terrorist attacks increased by two between 2010 and 2011; overall, a comparable number
of Americans are crushed to death by their televisions or furniture
each year. This is not to diminish the real--albeit shrinking--threat of
terrorism, or to minimize the loss and suffering of the 13,000 killed
and over 45,000 injured around the world. For Americans, however, it
should emphasize that an irrational fear of terrorism is both unwarranted and a poor basis for public policy decisions."
