Hardly a fair comparison to the other 99.9999% of us regular slubs, some of whom obviously can't think critically about risk. Of course random crashes due to malfunction/error/etc don't apply here but still seems silly to me for average folk
And such planes are at their heart civilian airliners. At low altitude there's not a lot they could do about a terrorist in a Cessna. A few planes coming from various directions and there will be no way to evade.
