This started with a guy I met at the gym that was trying to travel after the Brussels attacks and his wife was afraid to fly.  After I gave him some simple things to tell her he felt better and was going to convince his wife to go.

Don’t worry as much as the TV says

  • Sometimes even politicians tell the truth
  • Obama not that worried about ISIS and you shouldn’t be either

Chances of you being killed by terrorists is really small

Chances of you being killed by ISIS is even smaller

Chances of car accident is a lot higher

      • Same Awareness
      • Gut Feelings
      • Being ready as before
    • Lots of different kinds of terrorists
      • Normally think of large groups
      • Loan wolf attacks can be just as bad

          • Terrorist wet dream to get a nuclear bomb
          • Next down would be a dirty bomb
          • Maybe another Oklahoma Style Attack with that big of a bomb
          • Multiple bombings and attackers
          • With Controllers
          • More Loan Wolf half-ass attempts
          • Plane Hijackings are back in
