Absolutely. In the same way that I believe that there is a non-zero chance that a flight information board will fall over and kill me. I guess it could happen, but I'd rather not live in fear of every event with a near-zero probability of occurring, as members of the AFS crowd seem to (not pointing finger at you here).
It's worth noting that we already have a user fee for airport security, the 9/11 security fee. But the money is wasted on the TSA. It could be dramatically reduced and we would be no less safe than we are today.
