Put security on market
Oct. 12, 2001

Militarizing the airports. Confiscating tweezers. Three-hour lines to
board a plane.

As we witness the Federal Aviation Administration destroy civil and
commercial aviation, and concomitantly the travel, lodging and tourist
industries, might I suggest a different course of action?

Get the federal government out of the airlines' business. Let the free
market deal with airline security.

Let the airlines decide what level of security they wish to provide, and
you will have everything from body-cavity-search airlines to
pack-your-own-gun airlines.

The marketplace will decide who provides the level of security the
customers want. These airlines will also have to satisfy the safety
oncerns of their insurance carriers, which insure the airlines against
loss of planes and passenger lawsuits. And all without sacrificing our
freedom and dignity.
