No one is saying we should become hermits. I've always avoided flying, and I probably still will. As bad as the events were, it did make us more aware of the fact that we have been and are at risk.
The point of the thread was to bring awareness to our other modes of transportation. I've heard of highjackings of planes for as long as I can remember, but I've never thought of the same thing happening on trains, buses, and cruise ships. I'm still planning to take a cruise in May though.
