Uuh - let's just be calm and figure the odds. Falls in the home - maybe 100 times or more more likely than ever meeting a "terrorist" on any public transport - rail, air, sidewalk.
What does the TSA thing cost us right now - a few billion -- not much per capita -- what do we get for that -- not much.
No way to figure risk of "terrorists" vs icy sidwalks. So small risk.
Yeah, we all know that us humans super-over-estimate ""scary!"" risks
Transport security as a jobs program, that I can understand.
But really -- a broken kerb or an icy sidewalk, is a lot more likely to kill you than all the terrorists in the world.
