There are many things in this life that the government does to placate
all the ignorant voters out there. The average voter doesn't know
diddle about airplanes.
Joe six-pack is sure that a 1200 lb Cessna that can't lift two 200
pound people can do more damage than the 80,000 pound trucks that go
by their front door every day.
The terrorists will strike again and it probably won't be in
airplanes. I'm betting on a truck, cargo container, or bus. The
question then is, will we all climb into caves and severely restrict
them?
There were over 13,000 murders in the US last year that had nothing to
do with terror. It must be safer to be in Baghdad than Washington DC
as the murder rates are lower. When will all the dumb-asses get
paranoid over that?
