Kipspeak again
I can't speak to the number of incidents, etc. but one thing I would point out is - is it in the airlines best interest to have such information in the media? Would this help or hurt them?

And how much pull do you think the airlines have at the Congressional level?

Just remember DHS and TSA are not the only entities in play here.
