Safety

[Jilek, Glenn]

The only way to minimize the effectiveness of terrorism is not to be afraid and to continue life as planned.  Life has always been fraught with dangers, I can assure you that the dangers of a terrorist act are miniscule compared to other daily activities that we hardly give a second thought to like driving a car.

A life without fear doesn't mean a safe life, I think it just means a whole life...it's a goal to strive towards anyway.  How would an absolutely safe life be anyway?

If we let criminals like this stop us visiting New York, London, Madrid or
any where else we want to go they have achieved their goal. It only makes
the camino more worthwile.
