Portrait of the Modern Terrorist as an Idiot

I'm a little late on posting this, but security expert Bruce Schneier tells it like it is:

Terrorism is a real threat, and one that needs to be addressed by appropriate means. But allowing ourselves to be terrorized by wannabe terrorists and unrealistic plots -- and worse, allowing our essential freedoms to be lost by using them as an excuse -- is wrong.

Remember, folks, terrorism is in the eye of the beholder. Don't be scared of something that, statistically speiaking, barely even makes the list of things likely to hurt or kill you.
