How about acknowledging that the rules may be overreaching, yet be thankful that the airline industry likes to err on the side of safety?

The risk of dying in an airliner crash in the US is now literally too small to measure. I think we can afford to loosen up a bit.

I would love the airlines to err on safety. By making the seats out of a fire resistant non-toxic foam, before they were made to after a series of accidents. By fitting smoke hoods nearly 50 years after is they were first recommended.

And by the FAA spending a 0.1% of what the TSA costs on weather radar at small airports .....
