People value their convenience much more than they value anything else.
They are perfectly happy putting up with all sorts of dangerous,
ineffective, wasteful, or just plain dumb things if in return they get to
keep some of their convenience.

That statement is laughable, given the "convenience" of modern air travel.

Laughable in what way? In an ironic way? Or you truly believe that people
find air travel less convenient than the alternatives, but continue to use
it?

I'd agree it's laughable in an ironic way, but it's pretty obvious that
people still find air travel more convenient than the alternatives, in spite
of all of the things that many of us find so offensive.
