Why so much hype for security in airports alone?
-
Bus stations and railway stations carry more frieght and passengers too. The number of incoming and outgoing passenger load is all the more high. But the security and frisking is all the more high at airports. But nothing concrete has still been established in terms of security and hijacks anywhere in the world!

probably costs? I am pretty sure the overall cost of an aircrash is way higher than a buscrash... (Including possible life insurance)

I suspect 9/11 is part of it.

Shouldn't value of life should be more than the commodities concerned?

That is what it appears to the public. There is huge amount of 'intelligence' going on in the background which is steering these decisions. I was on a security course with work a few years back and it was interesting to hear that the [..........censored...........] were currently [..........censored...........] Also some of the key targets such as [..........censored...........], is where the key concerns are. Take those out and it would [..........censored...........] :suss: :laugh:

Buses and trains are pretty inefficient as missiles.

The only thing 9/11 contributed, IMHO, was an added charge in our air tickets as 9/11 fee.

Fear & the ability to instil fear & outrage - the objectives of terrorism. Blow up a train or bus most people are going to survive. Try and take over a bus or train and the driver just needs to stop for people to escape. Now imagine you are on a plane - the victims are effectively trapped and at the mercy og the terrorists, if they take down and everybody dies. The media will report a plane incident much more than the other modes of transport. To increase the effect, chances are this is going to be an international incident - multiple nationalities so the "message" is going to be sent far and wide. My guess is that if reporting of terrorist incidents was completely banned the threat would be mostly removed - this isn't about killing people, it's about creating a climate of fear and disruption. To this end many of the of the security procedures are actually doing what the terrorist wants. I certainly wouldn't want to travel to the US under the current paranoia nut-job levels of security checking.
