Tartley.com, which I’ve never heard of until now, has posted this chart (originally by Susanna Hertrich) illustrating our disconnect between actual dangers and what we fear.
Note the actual danger of a terrorist attack vs. what the media is trying to make us fear. We have a much greater chance of being injured or killed in a traffic accident, yet there’s never any public concern and the effort spent on improving traffic safety is a fraction of what we spend on ineffective security theater meant to feed our unrealistic fear of terrorists.
