Let's imagine for a moment that we could develop a system that offered Americans two airline choices -- Risk-Free Airlines, and Risk Airlines. They have the same planes, the same safety procedures. The difference is that Risk-Free Airlines has a two-hour delay for screening in the departure airport and Risk Airlines doesn't. Result: you add two hours+ to commuter time if you opt for that screening procedure....A new McClatchy-Ipsos poll finds that Americans lean more toward giving up some of their liberty in exchange for more safety. The survey found 51 percent of Americans agreeing that "it is necessary to give up some civil liberties in order to make the country safe from terrorism." ...McClatchy
How long do you think Risk-Free Airlines would be in business?
