People were literally killed by bombs in Oregon: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/1945-japanese-balloon-bomb-killed-six-americansfive-them-children-oregon

  Remember, our discussion in this thread is the purported “legitimate and urgent fear of a foreign power invading [America’s] shores”. (a) This balloon bombing was covered up and essentially nobody about it at the time, so clearly not something people were urgently worried about. (b) This militarily irrelevant bombing of a handful of random civilians is hardly an “invasion”.
