It's not a tinfoil hat, it is the only solution that will inevitably be implemented.

In the world where I routinely get cross-Europe plane tickets for $30, airline pilots are about as glamorous as truck drivers, and will be replaced by robots about as soon. And no, nobody wants to go back to the time when average ticket price was $300 or more.
