I guess the law needs to change then. I couldn't agree more - but then, what incentive is there for legislators who are technically illiterate, and have attended many cheque-laden seminars in which airline lobbyists have told them they don't need to do anything about that nasty regulation stuff. Imposing strict universal security requirements would be deemed anti-competitive, and could potentially result in businesses suing the federal government for loss of profits. Personally, I think the future comprises a frothing sea of crapware, leaky everything everywhere, and nobody taking responsibility. The most probable ultimate response will be a "war on hackers", after someone pulls something spectacular off, which will generate trillions of dollars in profits for enforcement agencies, and give the public that warm fuzzy "somebody is being bombed and it isn't me" feeling.
