I have absolutely no more qualms about flying than I did before September 11. In fact, I never had a heightened problem with it. There were hundreds of planes in the sky that morning and only 3 were hijacked. Add into that consideration that the hijacking of planes is hardly a regular occurance and it's easy to see there's no reason for concern.

However, if Amtrack got off their butts and started to switch to super-fast trains - maybe like the one that goes 360 MPH I read about the other day

- then I'd imagine train ridership would skyrocket TREMENDOUSLY.
