What gives?
[edit] (Death toll now 83)

It's a question of evidence.
When a bomb goes off in NY or London, there is an immediate flurry of information, some of which later disappears for whatever reason.
When a bomb goes off in Egypt, there is VERY little information for the first 24-48 hours, and sometimes for weeks to come. It's hard to create conspiracy theories without some form of evidence pointing in the direction of various conclusions.
So, no, I don't think it's a question of an Egyptian life being worth less. I think it's a question of being unable to connect the dots due to a lack of dots to begin with.
