If you believe the administration (hint: you shouldn't) you're almost completely safe from the violent world around you. According to John Kerry, terrorism is a minor annoyance and Americans - along with the rest of the planet - are currently enjoying a tranquil period. There are "less violent deaths today" than there were during the last century. Of course, we still need gun control, jobs programs for jihadis, "strategic patience," and lots of caution at the mall, but ignore all of that. You, like the borders, are secure.
