Someone emailed me a graphic recently on the TSA and Airline terror. Graphics are a great way of correlating data and finding patterns.
I wish the graphic included data back through the 1980s and 70s with the string of terrorist events that occurred then. With only one data point shown prior to the September 11th attacks it’s hard to compare reactions by the public to before and after the TSA appeared.
What can be seen is there is considerably more traffic than before. Terrorism hasn’t stopped people from flying. Though the TSA has caused many to stop flying, while it may not be very noticeable, I find more have stopped because of TSA than because of the fear of terrorism. One could glance at the graphic below and say TSA is working, but that’s not really looking at all the information contained there in. As Mark Twain said, “There’s lies, damned lies, and statistics”.
