I would and we have. I suppose we ALL would and we ALL have. No one is doing security checks when you hop on a private jet. My husband considers himself to be a very cautious person but he hopped on the (name of business redacted) jet and enjoyed himself muchly.
Terrorists aren't looking to take down the small private planes carrying unsympathetic billionaires and their contractors. They're looking to take down the big planes to terrorize the masses...

If a privately-run airline wants to conduct its own (ie, not government-mandated and enforced) security measures, I support that. Let the market decide how much security is enough, by seeing which airlines people patronize.

Greyhound buses have no security (even though they claim to have it). As far as I know, only one incident happened in the past decade, in which someone beheaded a fellow passenger. The bus drivers leave the engine running when they leave the bus, yet they've never been hijacked.
Oops.
