Yes, but your example happened in a "war zone" i.e. outside the US, didn't cause Grandma to think about getting on a domestic flight. Play the same scenario at LAX and nobody is getting on a domestic flight for a long, long time. And the fact that they got it home (miraculously by all accounts) ain't gonna make Grandma feel any safer.
