That kind of fear is something you simply can't let limit your life.
I was stranded in Lincoln, NE on 9/11, and would have given a LOT to get on an airplane and get home that afternoon. (Not that I have anything against Lincoln, it's a nice town, but I didn't have much to do there for the next four days until I caught a Greyhound out) That's another grim story.
In reality, even if there is an attack, the chances of any individual being involved is minute -- as in tiny. It's like flying (or even driving, which is statistically more dangerous than flying). Sure, some people are killed in airplane crashes, but considering the number of people who fly daily, the percentages are so much in your favor, I just won't allow myself to worry about it.
As an aside, I don't think we'll have too many fireworks here in the Inter-Mountain West and the Southwest because of the wildfire danger. Although the big commercial displays haven't been banned, many have been cancelled.
