  > that’s why your shoes get checked

Your shoes (used to) get checked because one person tried to hide a bomb there. And guess what, it wasn't even successful!

Seriously, your chances of getting killed in a plane based terrorist attack is approximately zero. I know 9/11 happened and other attacks, but there's a fuck ton of flights that happen every single day.

Let's put it this way, I don't fear stepping outside my door and getting mauled by a bear. I'd also call anyone that is crazy. And the odds of that happening are >10000x more likely to happen than being subject to a terrorist attack.

Your fear is irrational
