If you willingly fly a commercial airplane in America and terrorists kidnap you and/or kill you, should the government come and get you? Yes or no?

YES. BUT, if you chose to fly the plane without passengers into a terrorist territory by your own free will, NO.

There are terrorists right here in America, the risk is here everyday for those pilots.

As far as the journalist, we were his 'passengers' and our tickets were paid for with the 'freedom of the press'.
