Risking a Holiday in Egypt?

Why is it impressive to buy a bargain holiday to Egypt? This London writer is turning and twisting the question until she comes up with a very sound answer:
And this is why I felt that I ought to use the Tube after the London attacks. I simply don’t believe that there are that many people who wish such ill on others.

That is not to trivialise what happened, only to put the risk into perspective.
