All modern aircraft have excellent safety records. It's most commonly a human error that messed things up. I would be more concerned with your carrier. Find a legacy carrier that has been around...

You took a 5 year old on a mileage run? They're horrible enough when you're an adult. :)

I'm guessing they yell so people who are further back in the lineup can get the directions before they get up to the security checkpoint. Plenty of people will still do things wrong even then. You...
