Bio weapons are a larger danger than Nuclear.

Nuclear weapons are a larger danger than Chemical weapons.

Chemical weapons are a larger danger than Explosives.

Explosives are a larger danger than Hijacking (now).

Driving a car is a larger danger than Bio weapons.

The thing I am afraid of in the war on terror is what happens if an industrialized nation gets really pissed off.

To give you an idea, take Canada. If Canada where to go on war footing, it could manage military expendatures 2 times that of the current USA (keeping 1/3 of GDP to keep its people fed).

Imagine if the USA, EU, Japan or even Russia or China where to go on war footing.

Any one nation going all out would trigger others to do the same. Then a pin-drop could trigger WW3. A conventional WW3 would make WW2 look like a kindergarden cry-fest, and if it where to go ABC...

To put it in perspective: if every month a hijacker where to ram the WTC with 2 airplanes, twice as many people would die from the terrorist attacks than die from car accidents every year. Even a terrorist attack of unprecidented size, like the WTC, is barely a blip on the radar screen. The rage of an industrialized nation, or a state of all-out war, is not.

Don't worry about a terrorist attack, worry about getting in a car accident.
