What about truck bombs? They could blow up a bridge you're crossing, a building you're parking next to, or a dam upvalley from you. What about bioweapons? Did the last person to use that restroom stall come in with a virulent new genetically-engineered strain of influenza on his/her hands, and touch everything--stall door latch, lavatory, towel dispenser, doorknob--that you're going to touch on your way through, right before you rub your eyes?

Staying away from airplanes doesn't make you safe. Airlines are now the least likely vector for an attack. Bin Laden is not a one-trick pony.

But the odds of dying on one is reduced to one falling on you.

How? What is that different except they're taking tweezers away from normal American citizens. Have they changed the cleaning or security staff to make sure there are no accomplices working there?
