Since we still seem to be having a national freakoutover some loser who got on a plane with a bomb in his underwear, whichwas apparently worthy of a presidential address, it might be a goodidea to put the actual danger posed by terrorist attacks in somenumerical perspective.

If you count the Ft. Hoot shooting as a terrorist attack, which even the likes of Pantload doesn’t,16 people have died in the United States as result of terrorism in2009. The other three deaths include the Little Rock militaryrecruiting office shooting (1), the Holocaust Museum shooting (1), andDr. George Tiller’s assassination (1), the last two coming at the handsof right-wing extremists.
