How Big a Threat Do Terrorists Pose to Americans?

I recently got into a debate with Nasim Taleb about risk and fat tails. I am not sure if we are discussing the exact same thing — I am looking at it from a psychological and behavior perspective, he is looking at a mathematical distribution, including the asymmetrical impact of a black swan event.

Perhaps I can convince him to come on MIB to discuss this.
