Actually, in literal terms the two are pretty much the same, just on different scales. Terrorism almost by it's definition is against unsuspecting individuals. If you were prepared then you probably wouldn't be quite so "terrorized". So, inherently there isn't much of a difference except for the fact that the word "terrorist" has developed it's own seperate meaning. Al Qaeda members are terrorists...but so was David Burkowitz and Hitler and Vlad Tepish. The only difference between terrorists and a lone individual striking another unsuspecting person is that, generally, true terrorism has a sometimes greater psychological connotation than physical threat.
