Salt and Terrorism

Terrorists (probably) use salt! Ban it now!

On a more serious note, here are some brief statistics. In the last 12 months in the UK:-

Number of people killed due to terrorism: 57 (this is off the top of my head, probably more)
Number of people killed by too much salt: 52,000 (BBC)

So why is the government wasting billions of pounds on ID cards and wars in far-off foreign countries? We all know the answer to that, but these statistics make their priorities even more ridiculous. And this even ignores that fact that our war in Iraq is increasing our chances of having a terrorist attack!
