> I cant image flying that much. I am old enough to remember pre-911 flying and how much better it was before the TSA and their "Stand here with no shoes while we treat you like a criminal" procedures. Off-topic, this got me thinking - usually when we discuss impacts of flights on climate change and solutions we get into discussion of cost and profits vs lives saved. Its a struggle to push trhough anything that costs money. Yet after 9/11 we have put into place insanely expensive , inconvenient and restrictive system votually overnight. And the average amount of lives is saves is maybe zero, maybe a couple a year. Why is it so easy to do the latter but so hard to do the former?
