Heres what I propose to remedy the situation.Create a new airline, call it Freedom Air.
No metal detectors, no screeners, no hassles whatsoever. Guns, explosive devices, knives, scissors, box cutters, shoe bombs, zip guns, etc... all welcome.
Then all the whiners can fly themselves and their families on it after signing a legally binding document that absolves the airline and the US government from all liability in case of a terrorist incident.
I also think that such an airline would operate without much risk of hijackings or other violence in the air.
The big problem is that it is absolutely illegal today to operate an airline in that way. That's the problem.
The way around is to only allow owners of the airline or airplane on board the plane. Kind of like a fractional ownership plan. If everyone who boards the plane is an owner, then TSA and Feds and what not can pound sand.
Each time you need to go somwhere, you just invest more money in 'your' airline. This way the aircraft is no longer a commercial carrier, but more like a big old corporate jet.
