Actually, I feel safer on airplanes right now than I did before. At this point, I would rather fly to my destination than any other mode of transportation (besides driving my own car) for some of the reasons stated above. The focus has moved to airplanes and now some other forms of transit have been left with their, as my mother would say, "a$$es in the wind."
As far as cruises, I want to go on one, but I have to get past my Titanic complex first. I don't know, maybe I've seen the movie too many times, but big ships far from the land just scare the bejeezes out of me.
