A million people worldwide die every year in collisions with cars, half of them pedestrians and cyclists. Millions more are injured.

Compared with traffic regulation and enforcement, the response to terrorist events like this are vastly out of proportion, and well into the range of irrational response that the terrorists know is the only way to really damage a large powerful nation - by making it turn on its own people and put them in a security-state panopticon.
