Are you afriad of flying? That's irrational

-

Jerry Lee Lewis should be quite proud.  The New York Post's headline, after the December 25th attempt to blow an airliner out of the sky, was "Great Balls of Fire"!

NPR reports that, "... risk experts say that Americans are simply reacting — by not overreacting — in a way that reflects the circumstances.

"The response makes absolute sense given the evidence, the nature of this weekend's events, and this risk in general," says David Ropeik, a risk communication consultant...."

NPR further reports that passengers are citing inconvenience as their predominant concern.

The most dangerous part of any flight was, is and will remain, the car trips to and from the airports. 

Have a nice flight.
