As many dead and injured as in a random large airliner crash.
As much physical damage as in a random small airliner crash.
Three days of wasted attention.
Attention that could have been directed at productive thinking about wealth & diplomacy.
More arguments for politicians and bureaucrats who intend to waste even more resources on 'anti-terror' activities.
Terrorism is a major problem because we react hysterically. They could have a Mumbai action 365 days a year and would still be a minor irritation in comparison to our real problems.
You want our military to go on a hunt for terrorists?
I'd prefer to see our police go on a hunt for tobacco company CEOs and share owners.

Our reaction to those ridiculously irrelevant terrorists is self-defeating, ridiculous itself and utterly irrational.
Let's build proper bunkers around our nuclear powerplants' reactor rooms, let our police do its job and our intelligence services co-operate with others and let us get over this tiny terrorism "problem". Terrorists are laughable in comparison to REAL problems.

"The World Health Organization has stated that tobacco is set to kill a billion people this century."
"Imagine that cigarettes were harmless—except, once in every 25,000 packs, an occasional innocent-looking one is filled with dynamite instead of tobacco. Not such a bad risk of having your head blown off. But with 250 million packs a day consumed worldwide, we could expect to have more than 10,000 gruesome daily deaths—surely enough to have cigarettes banned everywhere."
