But I have to disagree a bit on this one. Sure, the state has failed this specific case, but we can´t say that in the last years this was the only terrorist attack attempted and thus the government completely failed. It should be pondered that Inteligence probably stopped a couple of attempts before they could become notorious and we may never know how many they were. About private companies and safety. Well, it is true that they might know better what is safer in each specific case, but airport infrastructure/bureaucracy would still leave security holes that a company would not be able to watch. I think that its rather hard to believe that competing companies would be able to cooperate in a comprehensive anti-terrorist action. There would be gaps and administrative issues that in other cases a unified institution (not necessarily the goverment) would better intervene. Anyway, apreciate the effort put into this blog and in the mission of promoting fresh ideas. Apologize for every single gramaticl rape I might have commited on the beautiful english language, for though I try hard to use correctly it, it is not my native tongue.
