That sounds like the old statistics lesson about safety while flying
commercial.

A person found out that the chance of being on an aircraft with a bomb
aboard was one in a million. It was also explained that the chance of
two bombs being on the same aircraft were less than one in a billion.

In pondering these two statistics, he therefore decided to carry a bomb
whenever he flew on a commercial airliner, since it greatly reduced the
chance of there being a second bomb on the aircraft.
