I was accepting your analogy as I understood it in your post – true not theoretical

I don't drive through bad parts of town; therefore, my risk of getting hit with random gunfire, bottles, etc from those parts of town is non-existent. There's a theoretical risk -- but only if you choose to traverse those roads.

Perhaps, but until, if, or when that happens, why drive ( anymore than absolutely necessary) the vehicle that's the major target right now?

Because the risk is practically non-existent. That's why.

You don't have to drive thru bad parts anymore.. and there's email, and p2p, etc...

Again, I'm sure you can take care of yourself, but in general it's easier and prudent to recommend that others drive a safer vehicle as much as possible as part of basic security measures..

thanks for the discussion and best wishes...
