Looks good to me.

It's about perception of risk. If it makes people feel better, good for them.

An analogy from Evan Davis (BBC Economics bloke) is it's like life jackets in a plane. Ask a risk expert how many have been saved by a plane having one and they'll struggle to find a single case. If the plane crashes on water, it will still almost certainly ignite still and you'll be burnt to death irrespective of a life jacket. And if that doesn't happen, you'll likely die of hypothermia before rescue arrives. But would you get on a plane without one?
