Sick and tired of the aviation industry bleating about security costs

The aviation industry is moaning that they cannot afford the costs of extra security in the wake of increased security since 9/11 and wants extra money from the government.

Am I getting the industry mixed up ? Is this the same aviation industry that flies people to Spain for £19 ? Is it the same aviation industry who can afford to buy new airliners at a massive rate, each costing hundreds of millions of pounds ? Is this the same industry that is making good profits, so much so that the leading airlines are buying u[ foreign rivals (BA/Iberia and Air France/Alitalia) whilst the biggest operator of airports in the UK BAA was recently taken over by the Spanish ?

If you run an airline of an airport, you are also obliged to pay for the associated costs. If I ran a football club I wouldn't expect the council to mow the pitch for me. Why, because it is part and parcel of football. If I ran a nightclub, I wouldn't expect the police to pay the costs of my doormen. So why does a profitable industry like the airline industry think it is exempt from paying for the things that allow it to be profitable ? Good security means good profits. It's called the free market and if they don't like it then they should find a different industry to operate in.
