"Here in the USA, terrorists have killed 3000 people in ten years. cars kill that many in a month. over a 10 year span, cancer has killed around 5.6 million Americans.

"The TSA gets 7 billion a year, while the National Cancer Institute gets 5.1 billion per year. This means we have spent an average of 23 million dollars per person killed by terrorists, but only $51,000 per person killed by cancer."

Causing Terror on the Cheap | Schneier on Security ([profile] bruce_schneier) -- [Total cost for the Yemeni printer cartridge bomb plot: $4200. Even if you add in costs for training, recruiting, logistics, and everything else, that's still remarkably cheap. And think of how many times that we spent in security in the aftermath. As it turns out, this is bin Laden's plan.]
