After the death of Billy Mays yesterday, she was quoted as saying the TV pitchman wasn’t wearing a seatbelt on a plane that made an emergency landing. I asked her about the interview and the importance of seatbelts.

Everywhere a sign: Obey or ignore at your own peril

So maybe it’s no surprise that as we take airplane travel and the wonders of flight for granted, we have begun to be a bit more blithe about common sense security procedures.
