We've lived with this in the UK since at least 1969. Everyone is aware without being frightened or stressed. It was far worse, frankly, when you expected to see a big mushroom cloud someday, and expected to have to wait helplessly until the fall-out got to you. That seemed certain, whereas the likelihood of dying or being maimed by terrrorists is hugely less than that of being killed by cancer, cars, bad diet or a safe falling on your head. Happy days!
