I do not worry about the danger. I just do not like being crammed
into a small, smelly cabin with bad food, air pressure changes, and
all these invasive procedures against terrorism. The latest invasive
procedure is to look at you naked with an x-ray machine. See:

I like to get up, stroll around, buy a cuppa java, look out the
window and see something . . . The fast trains in France and Japan
are great. If I could go all the way to Japan (6870) by fast train in
19 hours, I would never take a 14-hour flight. It is a shame they
cannot make trains run on water.
What I would really like to experience is a flight on a Zeppelin.
