If a plane blew up, the airline would get sued for about a figure that an actuary could neatly estimate.
Anyone can estimate it, it is very very very close to 0.
But the TSA grabs everyone at the start of the terminal. The terminals are used by multiple airlines. How do you see that getting broken up by airline?
The same way everything else in the airport is broken up by airline, as I'm sure it was done before 9/11. Or better yet, don't do any security at all!
There are airports in Europe that have security at the gate, and these are awful. Not only does it not help to get there early, as the gate doesn't open up until a certain time, there is generally no facilities after the checkpoint. No food, no water, no toilets (not always, some have toilets and vending machines)
