The true dangers

Re “ ‘The common defense,’ ” editorial, Dec. 27

Reading the editorial along with the statistics on the deaths and maiming due to automobile accidents made me really think about security. Maybe we need to realize where the true dangers lie. Is it possible to totally protect ourselves from terrorism, and should we live in fear because of our inability to do so? If one were to consider the possibility of being killed or injured in a terrorism attack versus what could possibly happen when we get into an automobile, perhaps our fears would diminish.
