  1. Nej det kan inte stämma. Med tanke på allt vi hör i media dagligen om terrorhotet och terrorism så kan inte ovanstående stämma.

  2. Nej, det här låter oerhört osannolikt. Skulle det stämma att jag löper 8 gånger högre risk att dödas av en polis eller 9 gånger högre risk att kvävas av mina egna spyor så tänker jag faktiskt kräva någon sorts hotnivåindikation på det så att jag har en chans att förbereda mig. Det här känns inte alls bra.
