What all big government people fail to understand is that NOTHING comes free. Impose a boat load of unreasonable rules that cost money - those costs gets passed along to the consumer.
This is an excellent point. The optimal approach is similar to Fedex in my mind: if the value of your items exceed the liability coverage the carrier provides then you should be able to purchase insurance to cover the remainder of the difference between your estimated value and the liability coverage provided by the airline - if you so desire. This way the cost of the absurd claims of value are not borne by all travelers.
