I hear the terrorists have some mighty good death ray programs going though
You are more likely to be killed by a vending machine than a terrorist attack.
hahahahaha
Being struck by lightning while you are redeeming your winning lottery ticket.
You live in Tokyo. You should be more worried about Godzilla’s next attack than being pushed in front of a train by some yuppie.
I mean, realllly.
If I were Muslim, I would more likely be killed at Mecca during the annual stampede of human flesh that occurs every Ramadan.
“What, Akbhar? Go to Mecca with the hordes of devote muslims or fly a jumbo jet into some towers? I chose the latter. Much safer, plus, I get frequent flyer miles. Allah be praised.”
My profuse apologies. One ticket to hell, please.
Smoking or non?
Since the OP merely asks what’s more likely to happen, rather than what bad thing is more likely to happen I will propose that the average American is more likely to find a bargain at Walmart, see someone they fancy on MTV or hear a politician talking bollocks than die/be injured in a terrorist attack.
Right on!
And here’s a frivolous example.
I particularly like it that he blocked other officers from using the system. At least this guy wasn’t a control-freak moralistic bully.
Sadly, sexual assault by someone familiar is statistically more likely than death or injury by guerrilla tactics for North American, non-military women. Not that women in the military don’t have a better-than-average chance of being so assaulted, so much as their likely exposure to terrorist militia seems a tad higher than mine.

I drive by that police station every day. I and my wife work across the street. Doing the chronology, I passed her on the street about ten minutes before she set herself off.
Oh, and I used to live about two blocks away from the Pentagon. And was there on 9/11/
False God if you move, would you kindly advise the rest of us so that we may fortify our houses with sandbags and purchase Kevlar.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Next planned residence is Arlington, VA, for about six months, then Lima, Peru on or about September 2005. Plan accordingly.
And yes, my nickname is in fact “Sh*t Magnet.”
You motto could be It could always be worse.
I visited Lima for several weeks when I was in the Navy. I even dated a girl there.
Several months after I left, there happened the hostage crisis at the Japanese embassy there. This was in the part of town where we would go to dine.
I’m looking forward to Lima – it looks cool and it’ll be nice to get back to a Spanish-speaking country. And after Sri Lanka, it can only get better.
