Is it safe to fly due to terroist attacks?


Is it safe to fly due to terroist attacks?

depends on your luck

Do you realize how long it has been since there were any real terrorist attacks? Decades! But if you are scared to travel, then don't. I travel a lot, and it is much easier when there are no freaked out, paranoid people like you at the airport!

Flying is still the safest way of travel.

I would say yes.
People all day every day.
I would stay away from middle eastern countries.

yes

it depends on where your flying to. middle east. not so much. i've flown twice since 9/11 and i'm still around.

It's up to you if you are going to let the fear of something happening keep you from doing what you want to do, or not!

YES!

lol ur really afraid from dying!?! its not that serious right now. either way if its ur time to go its ur time. dont let that terrosit crap get into ur head. just think where u might go when u die. up or down? and it doesnt mean if ur good and fdont kill ur off the hook.

Susie, due to the jews attacks of 9/11, I would say no. There are many important factors to consider before taking the first step onto a plane. First of all, make sure there are no jews in the vacinity. This sounds like an easy task due to their notable features (jew fro, long curly things on the side of their heads, yamichas, cheapness, etc.). However, jews have been known to transform their shapes very similar to that of an autobot in the hit feature "Transformers." So to test for jews, drop a coin, a penny usually works for me, wait for a minute or so (jews act fast) and if no one (or thing depending on how they have transformed) trys to pick up your penny within 30 minutes, then you should be safe, unless the pilot is a jew.

It's like playing the odds in Vegas, if it's your turn than you are going to die. The TSA is only a stop gap protection measure.

Of course, if you think otherwise you have no concept of how many flights happen every single year compared to how many are EVER even targeted by terrorists, and a large portion of those targeted something goes wrong with the plan and the plane is not destroyed (the attacker is court, their homemade device fails etc etc).

Statistically the threat of terrorism is a drop in the ocean (the risk from driving to the airport is much higher than the risk of terrorism by a long way, and the risk of using the car to make the trip instead of the plane makes the terrorist threat a completely negligible event.

By the way, more people have died to to terrorism on the ground, in buses, in buildings, on trains, using subways etc than have ever been killed in attacks on aircraft.
