The airlines did provide security before the TSA and it was the funniest thing you've ever seen. Minimum wage was standard, no new equipment, no parts for equipment, no maintenance contracts for equipment, etc. Airlines are about money. Anything that eats into that money is going to be cut as low as they can possibly cut it.

Haven't you noticed how one airline cuts fares and all the rest immediately follow?

It's been tried before. It didn't work then, and it won't work now. ESPECIALLY now. To make security better, then they have to add to their fares. They add to their fares, people won't fly them if they can get a lower fare on another airline. Sure "The customer is always right" but the costumer isn't gonna pay an additional $5-10 each way when they can get a better fare. You can say it will work all you want, but I've SEEN them try it, and it didn't work.
