I think that mindset is mistaken, and explains many of the misconceptions around the dentist that was dragged of a United plane a while ago. However, that this mindset can persist shows just how amazingly successful aviation safety and security efforts have been over the past decades.

It is much easier to kill everyone on a plane (and then some) than everyone on a bus or train, it seems to me.
- gymbeaux 4y agoRealistically the days of planes being hijacked are over, barring severe incompetence or malice by the pilots. I think it’s easiest to kill everyone on a bus because the driver is accessible and unprotected. I agree with the “air bus” analogy. Heh. That’s a good name for a company.
