This is one of those things where there would need to be some sort of legal ruling that travel on an airplane is somehow completely different in all ways from travel on a train, on a bus, or on a boat, as all are qualified as common carriers. I am not sure that there is such a ruling; and yet, there are no pat-downs on ferries carrying dozens of cars, buses carrying dozens of people, or trains traveling at dozens of miles per hour (hey, I had to get "dozens" in there somehow).
