That's why I asked for the units, especially as your example is itself a different form of cherry-picking. Most people aren't concerned about being killed by terrorists on each individual day, they're rather not be killed on any of the days. If you include ten years' worth of days in your cohort then you could conceivably kill all Americans in the nation on one bloody day and still be able to say that it only happens 1 time out of 3650.
No, that's exactly what cherry-picking means, because you select the most significant data out of a small, irrelevant sample.
If you want units you should compare risks at least on a yearly basis per person, or on a lifetime basis per person. Then you will see how ridiculously low are the figures for terrorism. But we all know terrorism is not about killing many, it's about generating fear and inducing political effects. And it's used precisely for that by both parties (the aggressor and the victim).
