Odds That You Are a Terrorist: 1 in 624,297Mac Slavo The National Security Agency, for their part, is building massive data centers capable of not only intercepting, but analyzing and cataloging, every digital communication in the country under the pretext of preserving the safety and security of the American people. With all this money spent, all the surveillance, all the restrictions being put on the American people, one cant help but ask: how many terrorists are we talking about here? According to a new analysis provided as an infographic below, not that many. Out of a population of 258,458,870 Americans who are within the age bracket of being a potential terrorist (18-years old or older), there were an average of 20.7 terrorist attacks attempted in America per year. If we assume that each attack involved 20 individuals, there are roughly 414 terrorists in America in any given year. That means the percentage of the population in America that is a terrorist hovers around 0.00016%, or about 1 in 624,297 people. The statistics are crystal clear in this regard: the danger posed by agents of the government terrorizing the American people seems to be much more probable than that of a rogue terrorist.
