The odds of dying in a plane crash are about one in ten million. In a train about one in a million. In a car about 1 in 14,000. I have looked up the odds of being taken hostage by terrorists and can only find (repeatedly) that it is extremely remote. Does anyone know where to find the stated odds of being taken hostage?

In Boise, Idaho: about 1 in 3 billion.
In Bagdhad: 1 in 823
In Dallas, Texas: 1 in 3 (If you cheer for the wrong football team)

I think that, in San Antonio, the train death odds are higher...not being killed IN a train, but BY a train that slides off its tracks...or backs into a building.
Hostage? Really, it just depends on where you are. They're high in Iraq, lower in Hiawatha, Kansas.

all of the "odds" and statistics you would find are bogus, artificial, made up, make believe. In real life, there are too many variable to predict accurately. You can only calculate out to a certain degree, then you're just pulling numbers out of your....
