Violence, or threats of violence.
The term originated to describe the acts of a state (the French) against it's own people.
States practice plenty of terrorism against their own people, or others.
For example nuking a city so that other cities will be scared you will nuke them in the hope that the country those cities are in will give up the war they are engaged in against you.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

An awful lot of what a lot of countries do and have done could be described as ter'r'rism, and I'm sure that they're calling their actions legal.
But if you really think that this thread was intended for a serious discussion of the words in the OP, you must have your glasses on backward.

This used to be the policy of a certain small middle-eastern country. Unfortunately, every attempt to apply it met with (almost) universal condemnation. Even the events of 2001-09-11 did not cause the world to wake up.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

No, that would result in a drop in ticket sales.
You just ban pilots being allowed on aircraft.

You're looking at it wrong. We need to reinstate personal responsibility: Make it illegal to die!
