Too bad the government makes that choice. I'd assume that if people, or consumers of travelling via airplane, were as you say, cautious about travel, a free market alternative would be better than the TSA. That said, you're right.

Semantically you could make the opposite argument however given the perspective/context. Abandon can mean relinquishing of control. It would depend on your employees/clients, but given a large enough sample size, I'm sure one
