> How, pray tell, does anything "perform risk reduction"? Does that phrase have any meaning in English, or any other terrestrial language? This may not be what you meant, but suppose that my sister Alice is an alcoholic, and drinks during the day at her job (they're very tolerant). I am concerned that she will cause a traffic accident, so I encourage her to enroll at Alcoholics Anonymous, or I offer to pay her taxi fares or buy her a bus pass. Ta-da, risk reduced! In this instance, I think they're either referring to the risk of crashing the plane or something conveniently censored by government classification.
