Sorry pal, but as you state in your own message, if one has the kind of problem that your unfortunate nephew has, one is in a life threatening situation continuously since there's no way of knowing who ate what, when and where. I agree with you that we certainly don't fly to eat peanuts, but come to think of it, there are thousands of people who are allergic to fish, sea food, strawberries, and several more every-day substances. So if we are to start banning one category from planes (schools, stadiums, museums, stores, etc.), we'll soon have to ban "everything" from "everywhere". Hardly possible I believe, and really not a sign of insensitiveness or selfishness if one thinks so.
