Lucky Dice Airlines
rubenfm asks, “If they want to get us, they’re still going to get us, but not through sneakers and mouthwash. How long are we going to line up like sheep to go through this process, and will ever it return to how it was? Can’t there be a middle ground?”
The solution is to dissolve the TSA. Airlines which choose to offer security will offer it, and customers can pick. After all, “We know you have a choice when traveling…”
The TSA doesn’t care if you’re unhappy - those schlubs’ jobs don’t depend on customer feedback, the way that employees of businesses do. So if security was privatized, you might get better treatment.
…maybe! It’s a big “maybe” because the airlines themselves are heavily subsidized, and, just as humans who receieve welfare become incredibly lazy, businesses which receieve welfare don’t really care about your satisfaction. This is why air travel is such a modern nightmare. There is nothing inherent to bussing humans through the sky that requires the entire ordeal to be Hell on Earth. Think of it as a preview of America’s socialist/fascist future if government keeps expanding.
Disagree here. You can’t have some airlines that are permitted to offer no or lax security or safety standards because that airline’s planes will be crashing into my city.
Though not perfect, I do think that current airline security generally prevents hijackers. At least significantly compared to what an airline with no security would do.
