You could probably do the math yourself - think of all the Arianna Grande concerts, and then think of all the other pop artists who draw a similar demographic, and then do the math. Take it even more broadly - all events that teens and younger kids attend - the odds that anyone would be hurt at any given event are negligible.

Now imagine all the young people - kids and teens - killed in car accidents every year. We've done things over the years to address that - car seats and so forth, which we didn't have when I was a kid - but we're not outlawing kids in cars on highways. Although even with seatbelts and car seats, the odds of a young person dying on the highway are probably huge compared to the incredibly unlikely case of being caught in a terrorist attack.

Hell, I just saw a thing about seatbelts in school buses. Most school districts choose not to spend the resources, because they only have so much, and the odds are painfully low that any kid will be badly hurt on a bus. But a handful are - some fatally - every year.

We lose this perspective with terrorism. It dominates the coverage, we see days of footage of the heartbreak caused, it excites our fears, and before you know it, we'll surrender the Bill of Rights, and all the sacrifice by those who came before us to secure them. We'll throw away these rights we've come to take for granted but in the scheme of human history are an incredibly rare and precious gift, to make odds that are just about 0 a tiny little bit closer to 0.

Logically, if this is your viewpoint, I would think you'd need to favor a ban on all children in vehicles before the age of 15.

Truth is we can't eliminate all risk in life, and we can hand a victory to the terrorists when we surrender our foundational freedoms because we're so afraid of them.
