Trains and buses have indeed been bombed but 99%of those were in country. Air travel has a much higher profile in the media. Just compare coverage of road accidents which kill hundreds and thousands with headlines such as "ryanair almost use all of runway to takeoff".

Air travel is still seen as special and dangerous........... Any terrorist knows that..... which is why they expend a lot of effort trying to get bombs on board.
