What makes an airplane with 100 people on it more "big a deal" than a bus with the same?
The effort spent on security is wildly disproportionate to the risk-- based, it seems, on the supposition that terrorists care fabulously more about damaging faith in American air travel than actually killing Americans.
I'm not saying I know anything one way or another, but that seems crazy.
An airplane can easily go off course and (busses don't work too well off road), and hit anything, taking down large buildings and downtown areas. A bus could easily kill the 100 passengers and some nearby cars.
