Heh, its the difference between flying ignorant of the danger, or well aware of it. The risk isn't any greater, we're just more aware of the fact they are in danger.
I'm still very much in the "Go" category, but I understand the risks, even flying the old system, were still not so severe as it is sometimes presented.
