The reason they won't do it is because they aren't willing to be the person who has to get up and tell the victims families that "excrement happens". And just from their own self interest they are right to do so. When people get killed it always gets used for political leverage. "Well, if President So-and-So hadn't scaled back the TSA and if we were still using the nude-o-scopes this wouldn't have happened!" It's a sad pathetic nightmare.
