Really? Gonna look around? Then what? Enjoy your concerts and let security do it's job. Hopefully you'll be fine.

Years ago I expressed concern to a statistician friend about odds of my boarding a plane where someone might have a bomb.

He ran the numbers and reported back the odds were 12million to one.

But then I started thinking of 1500+ flights daily in the USA alone with avg 200 passengers and it seemed those odds would shrink fast.

So he did some more numbers and reported back, "Just smuggle a bomb on board yourself!"

Because, he had figured out the odds of TWO bombs on the same plane were closer to 1billion to one.

:)

It was about then I lost faith in statistics for forecasting the future
