You are missing E's whole point. Your scenario again involves consent. (And in this case, some rather irresponsible risk- taking if you are having unprotected sex with someone you met that night in a bar).
Coming up with all kinds of odd occurrences (parachutists dropping on your head, AIDS from consensual act with stranger) really doesn't have anything to do with protecting the public from something they can't control- like smoking in the workplace or airports.

(I am actually not on the side of the government banning smoking in places where people have the option of entering or not. I agree with it in the workplace, but where market forces could take care of a problem, I prefer not to see the govt. intervene.)
