Reminds me of a comedian..."Christ promised peace on earth, Odin promised no more ice giants.  Not much peace, but I don't see any ice giants"

Terrorists are a non issue in the big scheme of things. You're thousands times more likely to die from bad food, cars, cancer,  a heart attack, falling down stairs, bee sting, self inflicted gun shot wound, death by asteroid/space debris, earthquake, tornado,

Dying from terrorist attack is somewhere around being mauled by a bear or death by scorpion sting, pretty much not gonna happen.  If  it did,  what are you going to do about someone planting a bomb at a large dam face or sports event or whatever other scheme the villains of the world are planning. They're not going to home invade you with nothing but an AK and a turban yelling "alalalalala."

Worse things to worry about -

1) the most effective course of antibiotics has just been resisted by some new strains of bacteria in China.. In the next decade or so,  we're likely to be returning to a pre antibiotic era. Dying from an infection from a hang nail, good times.

2) China vs Japan, or India vs Pakistan. Both of these conflicts have a moderate chance to open up into thermonuclear war. Guess whose gonna end up stepping in to try and make peacekeeper?

We could go on and on  instead of worrying about this nonsense in the back of your mind, focus on how to make your immediate world self sufficient. Grow food, learn first aid,  Eat right,  work out, love your family. Training in firearms is there too,  but it's a last resort option for so many situations.  Get good,  stay practiced,  but don't skimp on a lot of other potentially important stuff.

But yeah,  don't spend your time worrying about overhyped media nonsense.

Correct, but if left unchecked we'll have another 911 and worse. Frankly, I am quite surprised that we haven't had more. I worked for an Air Force agency dealing with counter terrorism, counter intelligence, etc, in the 80's and early 90's. I expected frequent terrorist attacks a long time ago.

Terrorists will continue to attack like Boston and California. Its difficult to stop all the attacks.

The next 911 will be a dirty bomb and I think no one is going to be able to stop it.

I pray you are wrong.
