Look at the younger population today, everything triggers an emotional response that is vividly out of place. I'm reading posts online about how King writes "disgusting passages" in his book as if it's a bad thing that he writes effective horror/thriller sequences.

If we go very careful with these things, you'd have to quit making horror, action and anything potentially "tiggering" in all sorts of media. The issue isn't about whether or not terrorism related stories are too dark or triggering but about using actual bomb instructions within the contents of the story.
