I would almost agree with you on this but the airlines have had ample time to step up to the plate and put pressure on TSA and the government to do something about these atrocities. To my knowledge, not one has done so yet (at least not with any real conviction). If they are not part of the solution, they are part of them problem. Their loss ultimately, and maybe that lost revenue will help spur them into action.
