The most common misconception I think that people have about terrorism is, first of all, to speak ethnically, they think all terrorism is perpetrated or committed by people who are Muslim radicals, Islamic extremists. The other misconception is the whole nuclear bomb, radiological dispersal device at the port scenario. I know it plays real well on television, and people get excited about it. But they're all worried about nuclear terrorism and quite frankly, that risk is quite low, I would think.
