Does it really matter what the airlines supposedly lobbied for? Should the government bear the responsibility to do their job of protecting the citizens of this country no matter who lobbies for what.

At the time of 9-11 it was not ONLY the government's responsibility. As part of deregulation, the airlines agreed to share the majority of the burden. You are 100% wrong to blame everything on the government. This was a 90-10 screw up. And two of the companies responsible for the 90 will soon be Chapter 11. I guess, as I said earlier, corporate and personal responsibility always falls to the courts. God forbid a company or individual pays for things that they signed up and acknowledged responsibility for.
