Writes Simon Cox on economic consequences of terrorism:
"In the morning rush hour, 500 tube trains serve London. Every weekday, 6800 buses are scheduled to run in the city. Only three trains and one bus were bombed on July 7th 2005. Whether or not (Londoners) are terrorised by it is a choice only they can make."
