I dont know a single person who is afraid to fly post-9/11.

No terrorist would DARE pull what they did on that day. Not only do we have Air Marshalls back up (gun-weilding anti-terrorist agents who ride the airlines undercover), but the instant any terrorist tried to use a boxcutter 80 people would be all over him.

The reason I imagine that train rides are going up is because airline tickets are so damn expensive and they get treated like shit the entire time. Dont get me wronge, I LOVE to fly, I'm currently in the US Navy flight program, but I refuse to pay $400 to be treated like shit to board a plane which is garanteed to both show up, leave, and arrive late.
