Because he sounds like some nutcase conspiracy theorist.

If he has a bank account, the government and hackers can already do what they need to do, but he clearly hasn't thought that through.



I've noticed that too. Maybe people don't buy much on short flights so it's not worthwhile to set up the machines?



Why would you think that?



I don't think card payments generally save time, especially for small amounts. It can take longer to run a credit card transaction than to accept a note and give change. My guess is that airlines don't want to bother storing and transporting cash.
cash can go missing, card transaction records not so much.
