...because that is what we should all be concerned about, feeling safer.
And, that's not the only incidence of idiocy in the piece. It ends,
Cohen apparently prefers a President who talks tough and does the wrong things, and, judging by his Iraq editorials, will happily follow that kind of President right off a cliff.
That is so f***ed up.

Anon, it's this bizarre willing ignorance of real risk. The odds any individual would be killed are incredibly small.
We didn't create an anti-drunk driving security state, and your odds of dying are better.
