Here's another goofy-ass statistic, gleaned from another forum:

"I don't have the exact figures, but there are something like 600,000
active pilots in the US. I saw something in the paper the other day
there were 650,000 registered sex offenders in the US."

Hell, if THAT doesn't make you sit up and take notice -- there are
more perverts in America than pilots! That really points out just how
few of us there are, and why we, as pilots, have so little political
clout...

Just think how many sex offenders haven't gotten caught.

In Michigan it's probably the other way around. We list the teenagers
that got foolish right along with the true predators. OTOH if you
throw about half the number we have on the lists, out and replace them
by the ones that haven't been caught we might be close.
