On one hand, flying is incredibly safe compared to all other forms of travel.

On the other hand, jet engines burn a lot of fossil fuel and wrecks the global clime. We're working on that.

It's grounds to get harassed by the TSA if you're a minority or some official doesn't like you or you wound up on some list. We're working towards making this even worse.
