Terrorism - are we overreacting?

I am sick to death of the hysterics in this country every time someone comes close to blowing up an airplane. Yes, security mistakes were made, but mistakes are inevitable and no security system is without flaws.

Americans should make an attempt at stoicism and accept the likelihood that in the next few years there will be more terrorist attacks, some of which will succeed. It's a probability we all have to live with.

Thousands of people die every year in driving accidents or because of gun violence; the chances terrorism will kill you are negligible. Everyone - in particular, the media - needs to calm down and grow up.
