Your'e entitled to your opinion, but I believe that Pamann and you are reacting hysterically.

Did you know that around 1,000 people die each year in accidents on UK roads?

That's about 4,500 since 9/11.

How many UK citizens are killed every year in terrorist attacks?

Ultimately, no one can stop a terrorist who is prepared to die - a point well made by the 7/7 bombs in London, but the numbers do not support your view.

I will not call you a fool, as I find that intemperate and insulting, but I do wonder how much you have thought through the argument.

Sure, I could be killed by terrorists next week, but the numbers suggest it is a far less probable event than dieing in a road accident.

Consequently, I am very suspicious of people who use "security" arguments to create a fear of the bogeyman and their underlying motives.
