While I agree with the sentiments, if you let the airlines do their own security they will go as cheap as possible. One only needs to look at the AS "jack-screw" crash in 2000. Profit will always trump security. Airlines, like pretty much every other business, just cannot seem to grasp that while security/safety are expensive, they are cheap compared to an "accident/incident."
I wish I knew what the right answer was. But I do know that TSA/CATSA are the
wrong answer.
