The odds of a person carrying a bomb onto your plane is roughly 1 in 1,000,000.

The odds of two people carrying a bomb onto your plane is roughly 1 in 25,000,000.

I feel much more comfortable with the second odds so for now on I will carry a bomb whenever I fly.

Oh man! I was going to do the same thing. Do you know what the odds for three people carrying a bomb onto a plane are?

Not sure if you meanted this to be a one-off joke, or a riddle of some sort... :*)

Well, it depends on how you feel comfortable. If for some reason or another, you feel comfortable with at least one bomb on the plane, then you should bring it yourself. However, if carrying the bomb yourself makes you feel more uncomfortable (ie taking up leg room in front of your economy class seat) compared to the comfort you gain from there being a bomb on the plane, then you may have to weigh it against the probability that there will be a bomb on the plane. :-/

Anyhow, obviously statistically that is baseless. You have to take the odds of there being 2 bombs in a plane you are flying in, given that there is already 1 bomb.
