Seems to me that the airline industry is owned lock, stock and barrel by the government, through government subsidies. Government foresaw that they would introduce the TSA at some point. They needed the airline industry to further the TSA plans. So they offered the airline owners funds to keep the prices down, so people would remain habitual travelers.
The result is that people don't know how to afford to travel for the true costs, which are way above the available prices to fly. Those of us who don't fly, support the fliers through the tax dollars that are funneled into subsidies. And this is to say nothing about the FAA controls.
It's about time that we get government out of the airlines, as well as everything else. Which small airlines, that do NOT receive subsidies, are willing to start a branch that will accept nothing but Bitcoins as their flying fee?
Now, consider a much larger area of government interference: the farm subsidies and control.
