When you go to a movie theatre, you don't expect to get a drink and snack for free. If you want them, you have to pay for them -- at an inflated price, no less.

Very bad comparison (Theatre vs Airlines)
Theatre - No TSA/Security - I can carry in can/bottle of soda, $1.00 boxes of candy, or other snacks in jacket pocket and avoid the $25 trip to the concessions.
Airline - I must pass through TSA; no liquids allowed so my 25-cent soda must be tossed; must buy at airport and at places like LAX a soda is $2.99 + 8.25% tax.
