I went to Tel Aviv in late 2012, around the time Hamas were 
trading missiles with the Israelis. There was a suicide bomb on a 
bus a few days before I arrived.

Yet I still had a much lower chance of being caught in such a 
blast than I do crossing the street and being hit by a truck. 
Actually being caught in a terrorist attack is a really low 
probability. Naively comparing the population of Istanbul to 
people killed or injured in the March 2016 attacks puts the 
probability of being in that blast somewhere around the same 
chances of choking on your food and dying.

Chalk me up as not seeing the point of terrorism hysteria.
