    Default Safest mode of travel is...

    "The macabre but exhaustive website planecrashinfo.com put the odds of being killed on a single airline flight at about
    one in 4.7 million
    across 78 major world airlines; among the airlines with the worst safety records, the odds rise to
    one in 2 million
    .
    "

    A recent report from the National Safety Council put the lifetime odds of dying as a pedal cyclist at
    1 in 4,982.


    on a motorcycle that number jumps up to
    1 in 907 .

    as a pedestrian
    1 in 749.


    And as the occupant of a car a staggering
    1 in 415.



    the death risk for passengers of commercial airlines is one in 45 million flights.

    According to The New York Times, a traveler could fly every day for 123,000 years and still be safe.
    Although travel fatality statistics are represented in a variety of formats, commercial airlines are the safest mode of transport any way you look at it.


    See how many planes are in the Air over the U.S. right now .

    Steve Theodoropoulos and Henry Preston, the former air marshall whistle blowers who expose
    Piss poor management, supervisors drunk on the job
    TSA search quotas vs real search targets at airports
    TSA harassing Air Marshalls
    Air Marshalls on terror watch list
    those bucking system harassed and their families as well
    proven discrimination against blacks, hispanics, gays within the air marshall service
    info passed to congress sat on
    info to expose some issues CYA classified

    and they say what i've said all along
    the TSA and post 911 airport security measures are smoke and mirrors for the public to "feel" safer. it's FAUX security. worthless.
    1000's of "arrest over weed and other minor items ZERO terrorist.
    They harass old ladies and vetrans and let known terrorist fly unmolested.
