You trust a private corporation to strap you to a flying hunk of metal, but not to ensure your safety? Sounds logical..

  Good point, however the regulation imposed on airlines would have to be some of the strictest of any industry.

  Airlines, at least in the US, are quasi-government corporations run by courts and unions in a state of near perpetual bankruptcy.

    The "majors" are, but Southwest and JetBlue are obvious counterexamples.

      Right, I was thinking of Delta, United, etc.

  I do not trust a mercenary police force, no. I trust private engineers to certify a plane's operation. Besides that as the poster above you mentioned, Blackwater is what happens when you trust the worst sorts of persons to protect the nation.

  It's perfectly logical. The power to search and detain me isn't one I'd like private corporations to have.
