What I meant wasn’t the airport itself, but border control—there was some room for misunderstanding. Even those granted entry are forced to give up all privacy, subjected to interrogation and scrutiny by the state. And nighttime curfews in parks? That goes without saying. I could keep listing such examples forever.

In a society where property rights are truly protected, pursuing one’s own interests without force isn’t flawless—but it is by far the best system we have. Nothing beats it. You might cite cases where profit-seeking leads to neglect of safety or fairness, but even those cases are almost always driven by government coercion. Take the most tragic reality of our time: children being killed in bombings during war—there’s a clear, horrifying example. Who’s most responsible for enabling such horrors? Right. The government.
