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: 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.
