How safe is flying REALLY?
The logic you are using to interpret my assertation that (basically)
statistics (including air safety) are not absolute, and subject to interpretation & manipulation is confusing. I'm not saying safety doesn't exist at all. What I AM saying, is you can make just about anything look just how you want by using the right method. is depends on who you ask & how they tell you. That's tantamount to saying that nothing is any degree of "safe", from which we would conclude that nothing is safer or less safe than anything else. And that's clearly false, so I must reject your statement. In fact everything has some degree of safety, and we can argue about how to most accurately and usefully measure it, but I don't think we can throw out the question. miguel -- Hit The Road!

How safe is flying REALLY?
Flying remains, statistically speaking, the safest means of transportation.
Unbeknown to many, the majority of large airlines use Israeli security services. Pay attention to your fellow travelers, what they carry on board, and remember that it's better to call in a tip and be wrong, than to be embarrassed to do so and regret it later.
