Bar, can't tell if you are joking but you have hit the proverbial nail. The attack on private transportation choices is an attack on freedom. Stateists don't want the people to have the ability to move about the country of world freely. One's ability to pick up and move to escape tyranny or high taxes lessens the power of the state. The state that controls transportation can dictate where you go and can't go. TSA is not about security but control.

If the high tax states like NY and CA et al keep losing population, look for a huge tax on moving companies and Uhauls.
