We've heard the
cliché a million times: You have a higher probability of dying in
an accident driving to the airport than you do flying in a plane.
One study claims you would have to fly once a day every day for
more than 15,000 years to be involved in an accident—about a 1 in
11 million chance. But as David Harsanyi writes, those facts
haven't stopped Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood from using
needless fear to push for new air travel regulations.
