Didn't the airline choose the crappy security which allowed this to happen to save money in the first place.

They took their chances by hiring these folks to ensure their planes were secure.

Now they want a bailout? Hmmmm..... Kind of like the morons who live in a Floodplain without flood insurance, who then go crying to FEMA to rebuild their houses at our expense. They get a free ride, while more responsible homeowners help shoulder the bill for them.

I think a pay cut for CEO's is in order before layoffs. Particularly if they're getting more of my tax money.
