You need to understand and tell your friends that this sort of over reaction ( not travelling by air) is what groups like ISIL want.
A parent at my daughters school recently told the school (very publically) that she was pulling her daughter out of a school trip to a show in London, because of fears over terrorism.
To put risks into perspective, in 2013, 1713 people died on Britains roads. I don't see many people refusing to get in cars, cross the road or take the bus.
The risks of being caught up in the ground or the air are almost negligible.
