According to FearlessFlight.com approximately 60 million Americans are afraid to fly. That number is understandable in light of the events on September 11, 2001. But is it that people are scared of crashing or falling victim to a terrorist act? Or could it be the REAL reason people are afraid to fly is the drinking water??

The Environmental Protection Agency investigated over 300 planes in 2004 and found that 15 percent of the drinking water on the aircrafts were contaminated. But the EPA announced yesterday that major airlines have agreed to routinely monitor the water served onboard to ensure the safety of passengers and crew.

Now that that's settled, it's time to turn our attention to an even bigger problem. Do those ridiculously small bags of pretzels contain genetically modified organisms? Only time will tell.
