Is the threat of terrorism being overstated? Part 3

On the other hand if terrorism wasn’t talk about everyday and we weren’t told anything about it then we wouldn’t think about. If it is talked about then people will think about it, if it isn’t then they won’t. Attacks can still be prevented without mentioning it; we can stay safe even if we aren’t thinking about terrorism all the time. If the government does its job and does it well then we should be safe and at the same time not have to hear about everything going on. The point is that terrorism is now overstated in the United States because after the attacks on 9/11 the government was given a tremendous power, and without a clear opposition that is constantly causing us harm the government does not want to relinquish that power so instead they spread the word of terrorism through networks, and as that fear remains then there hold on power is safe. So yes terrorism is over stated in the United States, you are more likely to die in a car accident then by a terrorist attack but the story that you watch on the news at night is going to be about terrorism.
