Terrorism is not a threat to me. At all. Ok, so maybe at some point, someday, someone will try and bomb something again, and maybe I'll be at the wrong place at the wrong time, but I'm much more likely to get mugged in the hospital parking lot on the way back to my car at night. Being afraid of terrorists is like a fear of being hit by lightning, as far as I'm concerned.
To be quite honest, I'd say that if anything is affecting my life, it's the counter-terrorism measures. Making it harder for me to get into the country, making flights more of a hassle, making gas more expensive, that sort of thing. And the nagging suspicion that Big Brother is getting nosier under the pretext of protecting us.
