That may be true, but you will have to excuse my disdain for the "anything for keeping me safe" crowd who don't mind Grandma having her crotch fondled by a TSO, but smoke cigarettes, text while driving, drive after several cocktails, (fill in risky behavior here).
On 9/11, approximately 3,000 people died in the attacks. Yet, the very same month, nearly 3,000 people died on the nation's roads.
Oddly, I see no one demanding political leverage regarding that fact.
