Time and time again, posters on Slashdot talk about the 'fictitious' threat of terrorism that government uses as the excuse for encroachments on perceived liberties.
How many people died in terrorist attacks last year? How many died in the hands of various authoritarian regimes?
I think even the most cursory review of history shows which threat deserves more attention.
You, the posters are the reason why an actual coordinated attack within a 'safe' democratic country is news on Slashdot.
We're the reason why coordinated attacks are rare enough to be newsworthy and why rushing in with a gun now counts as a coordinated attack? I think you give us too much credit.
