For tax purposes, it's better to get murdered by a terrorist than a street thug

While doing my tax return tonight

I stumbled across this at the IRS website: Tax relief for victims of terrorist attacks

So, for my heirs, it would be far more profitable if I died because some asshole bombed or flew a plane into my workplace, instead of some shithead blowing me away with a 9mm for no reason while robbing me at my minimum-wage convenience store job.

I'm not Ted Rall, but somehow this seems just unfair, and wrong.

Can anyone explain this to me?
