fruit flies. From the mass hysteria that has followed the 911 event, I suggest that we also are very closely related to field mice.

I point out that if three planes were hijacked daily in the U.S. and you rode on an airliner daily, even then your odds to be killed would be approximately 1 in 6,000. If you rode every other day, the odds would drop to 1 in 12,000. After three years of no other hijackings, the odds have now drop to about 6,000 X 1,000, an infinitesimal risk.

A truck bomb in NYC that killed 500 Americans would still pose a statistically nil risk to each American.

Get real! There is no reasonable need to duct tape your home to prepare for gas or germ terrorism.

There are some true dangers. But, this aren't being discussed and as far as I know, aren't being prepared for.
