The government has recently adopted a policy of publishing airline statistics, including statistics about each airline' s number of near collisions and its fines for safety violations
However, such disclosure actually undermines the government' s goal of making the public more informed about airline safety, because airlines will be much less likely to give complete reports if such information will be made available to the public
fails to consider that, even if the reports are incomplete, they may nevertheless provide the public with important information about airline safety
