For the most part this is an absolutely horrible idea. You can’t allow certain people to have loose standards and others to have high standards when it comes to safety. FFS, this isn’t affecting one person this is affecting hundreds to potentially thousands of people per flight. If something goes wrong where is that plane going? Take off is optional but landing is mandatory so are we just supposed to hope and pray all the problems happen over non-populated areas and the ocean?

You guys need to start thinking before you speak.

Now if you want to argue that TSA is a fucking joke I’ll agree with you.

When have companies NOT cut corners when it comes to safety if they were allowed to? Everyone is so short-sighted that they only look at the money saved right now and not at the huge potential of catastrophic losses they will have later. Safety and safety standards are pretty much the only thing the US government doesn’t completely fuck up and should have power over.[/quote]

I disagree, so you are saying that you would rather spend more money on someone you know that are not going to take their job serious then spend less money on someone that might cut corners, but still have the economical incentive to do their job or lose customers. Okay, that makes sense.

Overall a good read with some good ideas. Though the part about cars is BS imho. In Europe they got some crazy fast cars also, and many places there have no speed limits, or much higher speed limits. They also largely allow alcohol consumption at age 18, some don’t even have a drinking age, but there’s a lot less auto accidents over there per capita.

Personally, I believe it’s because when you’re not breaking the law by speeding, for example, doing it isn’t fun anymore, cuz you’re not being a “bad boy”…you’re just being dumb and unsafe; so it loses a lot of its glorification.
