Call me unscientific if you wish, but I would call a 747 full of Taiwanese, and another 747 full of Caucasians (a mixture of American, Australian and probably the off Kiwi on Air New Zealand) pretty good samples.

The only bias that comes to mind immediately is that the Taiwanese sample is above the average income (and arguably the level of education) for the overall population.

Fortunately, Steve Irwins are a rare strain even in outback Australia! I've never even seen one in real life, and if I ever do I'll step on it!
