The logic of "Don't show the terrorists you're scared" was "Don't let them trick you into being *disproportionately* scared" If they really had been able to pull off another 9/11 every month and there was no way to stop them then OF COURSE you should stay home out of fearhttps://twitter.com/gerrycanavan/status/1239209565641674752 …
I am firmly of the belief that there is no shame in being afraid when that fear is justified If someone is standing right there with a loaded gun aiming it at you for the purpose of intimidation the correct response is to go ahead and get intimidated
