The interesting part is, you invariably see the numbers
quoted as "per passenger-mile." If one changes that into,
"per hour of exposure" then commercial air travel starts
to look a lot worse, approximately the same as, or slightly
worse than, private auto driving. But they (the airline
industry) never quote it that way.


I think they would then just include the time from showing up at the
airport, till you get your luggage at the other end, and still come
out OK.
