You are comparing Israel to Britain? And you call me stupid?
How about what terrorists have managed to accomplish in Iraq?
A prime example of the innumeracy that infects our country.
You allude to the comparative safety of air travel over automobiles, and dis a measure that will help prevent the door from flying open in a crash?
Crashes aside, I've known people who manually locked the doors in their car before a drive, and had those locks protect them from people who in broad daylight, while stopped in traffic, attempted to enter uninvited.
I could not have put it more succinctly myself. Thank you.
No, thank you. It is always illuminating to deal with people who insist on sharing their risks with me.
