Planes being safer than cars is a result of risk, they carry greater
risk hence there is more oversight. Lifts are safer than stairs, btw.
Think about it, most accidents occur due to negligence. If the same
maintenance standards applied to cars were applied to aircrafts, we
would be in a bucketload of trouble. Think about it - air crafts
running out of fuel midair, poor tyres on planes, jua kali solutions
to problems with the choice tool being a hammer to force things into
place, drunk pilots insisting that 'the plane knows its way to
London'... It's not that cars are more, we are just lax.
On airport security, JKIA is insecure because of access control. Many
flight are boarded directly on the runway, and it's easy to 'sneak'
open fluids etc onto the plane... I think that is the major cause of
concern. I boarded a local flight without once showing my ID...
On the Tuesday talk I think I can try getting a Pilot/Engineer to give
a talk perhaps in early July...
