Apparently, travelling by bus isn't very safe either.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7376800.stm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4664798.stm

See above reports by BBC.

The first report says that road accidents claim thousands of lives in Egypt
every year.
Are there alternative means of safe transportation, apart from airlines? For
example, railways etc.

Best,

The profile apparently reflects that in the section on minibuses.

We're having a second firm do a security analysis as well, and we
expect to be able to make their independent assessment available to us
all sometime this month.

For the record, I want to say that Clayton Associates (more
specifically its parent company, Triple Canopy) is a top notch firm
and one of the world experts in anti-terrorism and counter-terrorism.

Mike -

This is a great thing to provide to potential attendees. Thanks for your
hard work coordinating it. I look forward to seeing the second analysis.
