The way to stop the sexual assaults is not to target the sexual assaults, but to target flying. Don't opt out of the scanners, the opt out won't be available forever anyway. Just don't fly. Not on a particular day. Just don't fly.
Currently, there are two major kinds of travelers, business and vacation. It will be difficult to curb vacation travel, since you want to go somewhere and you only have a week to do it.
Business travel would be possible to cut drastically. And it would be good for business too. "All" it would need (and I realize "all" encompasses a lot), would be much more excellent process and data integration and sharing. I don't mean adding the word "solution" to a Lotus notes sale. I mean systems that make it all but irrelevant whether your employee or vendor is on site or on the moon.
I'm not an enterprisy guy, so I know I've stated that in a clumsy and probably mistargeted way. But it does seem that if anyone, or any industry, could cut the need for travel and increase the value of services and products sold, the world would beat a path.
Maybe the cost/benefit lines didn't cross. Maybe we'll look back and have the TSA to thank for that crossing, and a better way to do global business.
