My family wouldn't fly on a carrier that would skrimp on security, perfect target for hijack attempts.

So I take this to mean that your family wouldn't fly on any carriers in operation today, seeing as how they don't live up to the standards you posted at #928? You started off saying that we'd be begging for protection from such oppressiveness, and now you're suggesting that people wouldn't be satisfied with anything less. My position is simple: Let the market decide.

No I'm saying that once there is a distinct difference in the security from one airline to the other, customers will flock to the safer one and terrorists will flock to the less protected. The market will decide which suits the needs of the public. In today's market, security is pretty much equal across the board and there are no distinct targets for terrorists.

I said that the poster I was addressing at the time would be "begging for protection" not me.
