There are incentives that work, that motivate people to do things right and make the world a better place. Then there are the incentives that drive the security industry.
It's not about keeping you or me safe. It's about protecting corporations from lawsuits. Airlines aren't interested in keeping planes from blowing up because they care about our lives. They just know that if a plane explodes we'll all stop flying. And if a plane exploded, all the survivors would sue them for a lot of money.
Nobody wants to spend money on things that actually make us safer, but they do want to spend money on things that make it not their fault if we get hurt.
