Just so we don't start going back and forth over a non-issue, let me clarify something. If you have read anything I have written so far as stating affirmatively that the rules SHOULD be changed, either I haven't been clear or you have misinterpreted me.

My position is that the safety risks involved should be more thoroughly analyzed and quantified, and the evidence and analysis should be transparent to the public. As a taxpayer and airline customer, I have every right to ask for this. A lot of people feel similarly; it's not for nothing that these types of threads pop up in fora all over the internet. And discussing issues with fellow taxpayers/customers is absolutely one of the best ways to encourage pressure for change.
