@Snowden @BBCwestcott It is an interesting aspect of the human mind, when our mind allows us to accept risk compared to when it doesn't.

@Snowden @BBCwestcott It's 2011 and 2012 in the graph. The increase has absolutely nothing to do with brusselsattacks.

@Snowden @BBCwestcott not sure what the point is. traffic is unintentional. terrorism isn't. ergo, it's a bigger problem by magnitudes.

@Snowden @BBCwestcott These types of comparisons always fail to take into account the secondary damage of terrorism: the fear, the panic etc

@Snowden @BBCwestcott But there's no braking or steering with terrorism. I don't have even the tiniest amount of control.

@Xenomorphica @Snowden @BBCwestcott It's more statement on how our fear cloud the actual danger that actually exists with a given situation.

Statistically speaking, reassigning traffic cops to surveillance will likely cost lives, even it catches criminals: https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/730038813146394624 …

@Snowden @BBCwestcott What's a 'casualty' in this case - clearly not 58,000 people dying on Belgian roads. Incomparable.

@Snowden You think Belgium is doing the wrong thing by reassigning police to CT? Gotta say. that seems a tad silly in light of recent events
