I don't get scared of flying at all, hell, I hate airport security and jams as much as the next person but maybe I'm a weirdo, the thought of flight is just fascinating to me. I've wanted to be an astronaut (secretly) for the past 2 years (my sci-fi obsession don't help this) and honestly was really upset when I found out I couldn't be because I am not in perfect physical shape, damn this heart condition. I guess I'm odd, but I think Space Travel would be absolutely amazing. I LOVE getting as close to it as possible so I'll fly anytime. It's always something I'll wanna do..hopefully in my next life.

Anyway, I know what you mean about how it's funny that driving is just as dangerous if not much more yet people still drive. But then again, human nature is funny to. I agree that driving is second nature to most people and it's just something you're used to. Although it sucks that it's so easy to get a liscence for some people.

I too am wondering how the heck he got passed security in TWO countries with an explosive device in his underwear I heard that his father had said that he was acting suspcious to authorities but they didn't listen apparently. That seems to happen far too often. I hope they find out more soon and I am glad it didn't end up like the terrorists had intended it to.
