I suspect the author is overestimating how much influence the airlines have over this process. Isn't the TSA paid for by taxes and fees on airfares? And doesn't the inconvenience and increased price from those fees lead to fewer flyers at the margin? It strikes me that if airlines could have prevented this creeping security featurism, they'd have done so already.
