There are 2,500 A320s in operation
(http://www.airbus.com/en/aircraftfamilies/a320/ ) putting more
passengers at risk each day than the 172s carry in a day/week/month.

I'd bet that Cessna 172's have more landing gear problems than the
A320. Should we ground them too?

At risk of what? Getting sick on airline food?

This nosegear thing has happened a number of times in the past few years. No
one, as far as I know, has had so much as a minor injury as a result.

huh, which pax were at risk? What risk? I"m not following your logic.
Are you speaking of the risk of having to eat dinner in SoCal vs. New
York?
