What do you do when American citizens shoot at airplanes? Quit flying?
Yesterday an Air Force helicopter was shot at and the pilot injured. Not to mention the number of citizens pointing lasers at cockpits.

You can't refuse to do something just because you're scared of a few bad actors. Otherwise we have to stop making cars (they get driven into crowds), building tall buildings (they get bombed or have aircraft flown into them), drinking public water (they get threatened with poisoning attempts), blah blah blah.
- sudosysgen 6y agoWhen an airplane is shot at by a civilian, in 99.999% of cases there will be no big issues (read : multiple deaths). Making an entire transportation system with hundreds of thousands of people inside that can all be killed instantly by a single bullet or bomb is insane lunacy.
