This article is pretty dumb, because it doesn’t address an incredibly obivious question: to what extent are peoples’ pre-flight anxieties related to fear of terrorism and to what extent are they related to the fear of non-terrorist related airplane accidents? I’d bet about $1000 that people would be anxious before flying even if terrorism didn’t exist. So what is the point of this silly post?
