I have noticed that when the startrek scriptwriters found it necessary or
desirable to kill a crew member of the Enterprise, most of the time they
were wearing red shirts.  It seemed that these were mostly "security
guards" and the like.  My question is:  Does anybody know what percentage
of the crew of the Enterprise that were killed on the screen were wearing
a red shirt (or dress if a woman crew member) when they were killed?
