I would be more inclined to buy the insurance, that's for sure. Seems there's a lot of missiles came up missing in Libya. Just what kind I don't know but an RPG-7 can take down an airplane with some luck. An old Igla would have an even better chance.
Oh the tangled webs we weave.
Missing Libyan missiles a threat to civilian aircraft? — RT

Ahhh Scrat...yes we do weave tangled webs and hopefully those missing missiles from Libya get caught up in those webs.

I believe there is still and "Act of War"/"Act of Terrorism" clause in the insurance.
It would be a waste of money.

Are you saying none of the 9/11 passengers got air-industry insurance payouts, Lars? It's not an aspect that had occurred to me. Would it extend to personal life insurance they might be carrying too?

Well, after making that statement, I looked it up.
Here is some info about it.

I do remember, back in the 60's that flight insurance policy I purchased distinctly stated that all benefits would be void in the event of an act of War.
There are some companies that have clauses regarding travel in a known war zone or where terrorist activity is known to occur.
If someone starts shooting down commercial flights that "area of terrorist activity" might conveniently be expanded.
