So why are you being so socialist in your recommendations? Can't someone operate a business without having the feds walking all over their private property 24/7?

People should have no government guarantee of flying. Because of this, they should also have no guarantee of exceptional security for the purposes of flying. It is both expensive for the taxpayers and sometimes unjust for the property owners. Frankly, if you don't like the security, then you don't fly on that plane! I don't get a free bodyguard when I get in a taxi, do I? What about when I go to a restaurant? All of these serve the public and they do not come with forced government bodyguards.

There is nothing socialist about govt regulation. All goods and services have to meet regulations. They are like laws, and law enforcement is the responsibility of govt.

I like the fact that I can go to the supermarket and buy food that meets a certain standard and is unlikely to make me sick. Same goes for resturant meals and all other goods and services. They are only as safe as regulation and enforcement requires them to be.
