I fear this current government more than any external threat. I fear more of being caught in a natural disaster than an attack from elsewhere. The resources for recovery have been squandered on the rich.

Timothy McVey was a terrorist. Who can really consider himself totally safe from terrorism. Dwelling on it and being scared of it merely plays into the hands of the terrorists whether here or not. That is what terrorism is all about, fear.
Keep in mind what President Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself".

Like Vernon C. I labored and lived in London in the process the IRA outrages. I remember the Harrods Bomb and Oxford highway. no longer each week glided by using without close down of the underground device simply by bomb indicators and maximum weeks a minimum of one theatre could be emptied throughout a overall performance simply by a bomb scare. as quickly as we heard on the subject of the Kings bypass hearth, the 1st theory grew to become into, the IRA has ultimately bombed the underground. The IRA had bombs going off merely approximately weekly at some factors of their reign, we've had 3 bombs in the ten years provided that. specific, i think lots safer now.

Sure, I feel safe from terrorists.
I look at it this way: In our WORST year of terrorism, we had about 3000 killed. That same year:
17, 448 killed by drunk drivers
15,980 killed by murder
About 100,000 killed by Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR)
So, in 2001, you were about five and a half times more likely to be killed by a drunk driver or another American (that 5 1/2 times EACH), and about 33 times more likely to be killed by your prescription, than by a terrorist.
Let's get some perspective folks. . .

You forgot legal terrorists.
Not all wrongdoings and crimes are reported since they can bring down the value of property.
Feeling safe is a frame of mind.
Why don't you just say that you support George W Bush instead of trying to be sneaky?
Be proud of who you are since not everyone will support you even friends and family.

As "reasonably possible," yes.
There is no absolute security, although at this point in time, there's NO way I would live in New York, San Francisco or any other major city.
I still think our coastal ports are "wide open" for terrorist opportunities.

I don't feed the fear mentality. Are we safer. No. Borders are still wide open, airport security is an embarassing joke,ports still are left to chance. I am as safe as I ever was.

I feel safe from day to day, but sometimes I get a sense of anticipation and fear of a really bad terrorist attack, like a dirty bomb or poisoning our water or something.

I choose to not live my life in fear. I recommend this approach in the world we live in today.
I do not understand the animosity generated in some of the answers. Frankly, I am more fearful of those people than I am of either terrorists or our government.
