It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell

Anecdotal is travel is up.
But I don't have firm stats, just what I've seen around airports - pilots called back, new pilot hires, etc.

My answer made as much sense as that chart
Which was my point.
Which was missed.
By a lot.

And the year before that?
The trend is down, Todd.
And, "300%"? I think you meant to type "up 2", in order to avoid using a deliberately hyperbolic percentage figure.

That chart
only mentions fatalities, not casualties. I guess spending a year in a burn unit doesnt count.

Noticed how "casualty" has morphed to mean "fatality"?
(Just an aside.)
Have you noticed how [link|http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=casualty|casualty] has morphed recently to mean the same as [link|http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=fatality|fatality]? It's especially common in reporting on Iraq for the TV talking heads to use casualty when they mean fatality. It bugs me.
I'm glad you appreciate the distinction too.
Carry on. :-)
Cheers, Scott.
