You can't have both Jack. Unless of course you want to subsidize the airline industry even more but then you'd be paying more taxes.

There has to be some way to let fliers decide what constitutes security rather than Michael Chertoff's security firm.

I think the problem is this word "let". Airlines are companies. That means profit first. You can't "let" them manage security and hope they don't cut corners. You have to -make- them do so. And the only organization that can make an airline do anything is the federal government.
