Yeah, but unlikely that he will kill a huge amount of people with tons of hazardous chemicals.

But I do think about this. I have been in some reasonably dangerous battles and the closest I ever came to getting killed was when a cab I was in drove into a cement truck on the way to "the war". Got me thinking. Mostly we are a safety concious society. We lock our doors. We have airbags and abs. We strap our kids in baby seats. We have fire escapes in buildings and we pay large amounts of money to keep ourselves healthy. But on any given Friday night when the bar closes, we will climb into the back seat of a car with a complete stranger and go whizzing down the road at at 60 miles an hour with no seatbelts and not give it a second thought. Curious.
