I was reading this Bloomberg Businessweek article with the provocative headline at the airport on Thursday night. Read it here ! http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-11-18/how-airport-security-is-killing-us From the article – ‘To make flying as dangerous as using a car, a four-plane disaster on the scale of 9/11 would have to occur every month, according to analysis published in the American Scientist. People switching from air to road transportation in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks led to an increase of 242 driving fatalities per month – which means a lot more people died on the roads as an indirect result of 9/11 than died from being on the planes on that terrible day.
