gollark: Oh, and aeroplanes are somewhat less dangerous than cars, so if you discourage people from using airports via airport "security" and make them use cars instead, you're sort of causing additional deaths.
gollark: I'd want less "secure" travel, really.
gollark: Air travel is waaaay better than anything else for quite a lot of journeys, and trains, while sort of better, don't get implemented many places.
gollark: It's a shame that suborbital rocket travel is still so expensive.
gollark: And my stuff gets X-rayed, which is probably not very good for it.
