I never really thought of this. Had just saw this article.

How popular holiday flights run risk of jihadist rocket threat: Fears surface-to-air missiles have fallen into hands of terrorists who could shoot down planes to South Africa and Dubai

If you look at the middle east there really isn't an area that can be flown over.

Well many people hope that the people on the ground would have the decency and humanity to not fricking shoot down an unarmed aircraft full of innocent people. It's something that can't be avoided really. Most of the combatants lack SAMs sophisticated enough to shoot down an airliner at cruising altitude though.

The people that shoot down airliners should be hunted down and executed.
