Uh-huh. In fact, every time a Continental plane takes off, the company puts every passenger and employee on board "at risk." The plane could crash!

Every time you leave your house, you take some risk, and you can't completely avoid it even by staying home! Only the most simple-minded among us believe that risk can be eliminated. Thoughtful people weigh risks against the cost of mitigating them. With regard to FAMs, the cost far exceeds the value of the risk reduction.
