Look, it's very simple. Airline tickets cost hundreds to thousands of dollars and most are not refundable because people try to purchase the cheapest fares. Most people have connecting flights to get cheaper fares, but they are still expensive. People have business deadlines or are taking a long planned vacation which entails other great expenses which also cannot be refunded.

If people were paying 10 dollars to fly, NO ONE would put up with this nonsense. But since they have large amounts of money and time wrapped up in these fares they refuse to disobey because it would cost them a fortune. There is a make-break point here in terms of dollars. Under that point everyone would refuse to be groped or x-rayed. Over that common sense takes over. They are not going to throw their money away just to prove a point.

It's as simple as that.

The Milgram experiment is primarily relevant to the TSA employees.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

This has nothing to do with Milgram’s experiments. If you don’t want to be fined, go to jail and miss your plane you comply.

Ask Milgram if he can explain why some people who work for the government love ordering other people around.
