In response to "But to your point: we are irrationally fearful of some things (terrorist attacks) and not of other things (driving) far more likely to kill us. -- nm" by ty97

Yep, people feel they have control when they are in a car, so even if it doesn't make sense statistically, it makes intuitive sense.

But when there's some sort of attack or danger, people feel they don't have control - and the way they get control is by avoiding the problem.
