We now know one thing -- we have enemies willing to engage in mass destruction. Yes I do not believe you and I are looking at this too much differently. I will fly. I decided to wait two weeks. As you say, this is transient. Only if there a no more near term problems. I am not aware of any threats that did not already exist -- but my perception of the risks has changed. Mine has not. The risk has always been there and will continue to be there as long as there are "extremists" on this planet.

<<Sealing off the flight crew is a start. Some planes in the past were equipped with gas to knock out the everybody in the passenger compartment in the event of a hijacking -- extreme but effective. Passenger area cameras for the pilots are useful -- the list goes on and on. >> It's funny so many people are fixated on drastic measures now for airliners. Why don't we just do what the europeans and Israelis have already advised us many times to do with planes and air terminals? My other point is, how do you secure a cruise ship? A shopping mall? Do we seall off the clerks from all the shoppers? Or a popular nightclub? The point is it goes far beyond airplanes.
