I'll get on a transatlantic plane without carry-on luggage when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

(Or when they pay me the full replacement price of my checked luggage when I board. On the unlikely chance I ever see it again, and on time too, I'll gladly refund the money... minus a modest handling charge. AND they must have at least three decent full-length novels in the passenger cabin for me, as that's how many I'll need.)

I don't know what country either. Something small enough to fly my own plane across in a day... but then the whole point of that is to visit friends or call for square dance clubs, and I can't move all of THEM.

I wonder how well this form of attack would work if people as a whole simply were not afraid of flying. People have bombed subways, and nobody has implemented metal detector and X-ray screening there. Folks just basically keep on keeping on.

All true.

So how do we get people to not act on fear? Imagine a U.S. not ruled by fear...

I truly do not know how. That would be amazing.
