I can sort of imagine a world where some extremely well funded terrorists engineer/manufacture a few dozen really nasty diseases and release them in hundreds/thousands of locations at once, (though most terrorists wouldn’t because such an attack would hurt their own side as much or more than anyone else) that might seriously hurt society as a whole but most of the time the backlash against terrorism seems more dangerous than the actual terrorists.
Consider terrorists who release viruses that target or spare specific populations. If gene editing technologies make offence much easier than defense, and allows lone individuals to make these viruses such terrorism could be world-ending.

I would put backlash to terrorism as part of the risk of terrorism
