If the threat of terrorism scares you when it comes to air travel, there are some things you can do that might put your mind at ease a bit. Mary Schiavo, author of Flying Blind, Flying Safe, tells us what they are:
Choose flights on smaller aircraft. If may require making a connection.
Smaller airports. Security is much tighter now at all domestic airports, and the smaller ones often have more time to thoroughly screen each passenger and bag.
Avoid traveling to or through countries that are not in compliance with the International Civil Aviation safety standards. You can access a list on the US State Department web site, click International Travel, then Aviation Safety Oversight.
