MisAllocated Resources

These lads decided a pilot needed beating, so they gave him one, even chasing him around the terminal until passengers (not law enforcement) subdued the thugs.  They missed their flight.

Because we allow the government to be in charge of airplane security, these things happen.  What do they care?  If the airlines were in charge of airplane security, these would not happen, because the airlines would share information and refuse service to trouble makers.  It was not the first time to the rodeo for these two lads...

But wait, wait...  since airlines are heavily subsidized, based on being a "public good," rules prohibiting such discrimination prevent airlines from sharing experiences and creating their own no-fly lists.

Get rid of the TSA, and give security back to the airlines, and let them compete as to who is the most secure airline to fly.  Then let the market decide.
