Suppose there were two airline classes. No not seating comfort but TSA "protected" and TSA "unprotected." Suppose the money that is spent on TSA protection were instead refunded to the flyer. So just how much would you want back in order to make it worth it to you to fly, well "naked" of the effort that the TSA makes.
So imagine that there is an entire terminal for those willing to pay more for protection. The extra they pay would cover the passenger screening process, the no-fly list and the baggage screening process. Now maybe you'd want to keep the baggage screening, but sorry it's all or none. Ok you can keep the lock on the pilot's door and maybe the flight crew might or not have training and mace or some such. But that's it.
Now I've included the option for actually paying more for such hassle less travel but please don't check that just to be cute.
So how much would you have to save to travel naked?
