Consider this: The airlines are supposed to be responsible for secuirty. They whine that this forces them to but security services from the low bidder. This is a ridiculous argument.

EVERY PART OF THEIR BUSINESS HAS COST AND RISK. They bought cheap security and we have 6000+ dead people as a result. Why should the airlines not bear the full wieght of the consequences of the risk they took on behalf of all the now-dead, widowed, and orphaned?

GO BANKRUPT? Yeah, but the planes will still be there, the pilots will still be there. The shareholders and managers will take it in the pants BUT THAT'S HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE! Take risks, manage them badly, go bust. Happens all the time.

Exactly. We're on the same wavelength here.
