Well, it's not a win win. Anything that discourages people from flying is a loss to them. That said, the people who are most up in arms about it don't fly that much and typically are the poor, tea party types who collect SS and Medicare while complaining about the cost of entitlements.

What the airlines do fear is any bombing on an airplane or anything that would cause major fear among their customers. They have enough to worry about without having to delve headlong into arguments with tin foil hat wearers about security.
