There is a bit of interesting math from Nate Silver over at FiveThirtyEight.
He pulls some statistics from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and uses them to compute the odds of being on a flight on which a terrorist event occurs. Oddly enough, this is the same thing (with less hard numbers) I was trying that I’ve been trying to explain to my in-laws.
