And on a completely different note, it would just make me very sad if people started making these kinds of changes to our ways of life... it's like saying these guys are winning.

But, each person needs to be comfortable with their own decisions, and this is where the difficulty lies, so bollocks to anyone's else opinion perhaps.

My thoughts too. Although you're absolutely right, as tengo says, to say "bollocks to anyone else's opinion" I'll voice it anyway: I think it's ridiculous not to allow her to go on a trip like this because of an almost infinitesimally small chance of a terror attack.
