Yes, Federalize airport security. Like national defense, it should be considered a public good, i.e. better handled by the public sector than by profit-maximizing firms in the private sector. What happened two weeks ago shows that the costs associated with "underproduction" of this good (liabilities for subsequent crashes) are so high as to require a government bailout of the airline industry (including absolving UA and AA for responsiblity for the damage in NYC). I'd rather have better security and less chances of a need for such a bailout.
The current system of paying minimum wage to employees who can't get a job anywhere else is outragous.
