They look upon ignored security systems that failed as the government's responsibility. How many of these "execs" were lobbying for tighter security measures before? Personally, I don't think about it. The last time I flew was coming out of Saudi Arabia in 1991. You would think that someone who lives, works, & sleeps "air transportation industry", though, would be a little more conscious of security issues.

Maybe I have this wrong, but I think being bailed out by the government for shortsightedness and cutting corners is not right, and I would wonder about the business ethics of corporations doing just that.
