And, apparently, neither do you. You are more likely to be killed crossing the road than in a terrorist attack. Although, if you live in Allepo, the two might be congruent.

I can avoid being killed crossing the road by being careful, The government can avoid a terrorist attack by being careful.

The bit you both are missing is just because the likelihood is low doesn't mean its a risk I wish to take.
