Yeah yeah, crossing the street, driving a car, visiting a hospital, yadda, yadda, yadda, are all riskier than flying in a plane with a cockpit infested with snot nosed kids. Riskier than flying without a seat belt. Riskier than letting pax sit in jump seats. Riskier than letting cripples sit in exit rows. Etc.

In my life I tend to look for the unnecessary risks and avoid them. That legal left turn out of the parking lot into a 6 lane road. Forget that ... I'll turn right and do the U-turn. Or find another exit from the lot that entails a left turn through fewer lanes. I want to live.

I especially try to avoid doing unnecessary things that put others at risk at no benefit to them and only benefit to me. Taking your kid into a commercial aircraft's cockpit is unnecessary, selfish, and puts me at risk. It would be no different than a cripple taking the FAA to court on a ADA lawsuit and winning the right to sit in the exit row. Risky and selfish.
