Travel IS dangerous. But only when you are not on an airplane. Once you get out of the taxi or car and walk to the terminal, your chances of being hurt or killed are reduced so significantly that you get into the "as x approaches zero" realm.

In other words, you should feel about 10,000 percent safer in an airplane than you do in a car...As they like to say, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight (esp. on the 777!)
