I assume you mean in the U.S. If that's the case, then I assume that you don't believe there is much of a chance of another 9/11. The odds on that day were closer to 1 in 100 thousand. Which is only about 10 times less than the odds of being killed in an auto accident.. I don't know what the odds are for bathtub deaths.

I don't know how much more we can do to prevent auto and bathtub deaths, but there may be a lot more we can do to prevent terrorist attacks and even-up the odds a little more.
