But, as far a worrying about one's own children goes, dying in an auto
accident is far more likely than being killed by a terrorist attack.  When
I use to let my kids walk to school, and when I now let my kids drive, I
know that I am risking their safety.  Their safety is more important than
my own, but I am not ready to protect them at all costs.
