The TLV model is not scalable.

Spending on security is now 10 times what it was in 2001. We could roll back to those levels and whatever portion of the single-percenter TSA cheerleaders that decide to no longer fly would be offset by those that come back after having stopped flying because of TSA harassment. Also, visitors to our country that have been spending their vacations in places elsewhere would also offset the single percenters.
