Agreed. Even more, how can you keep the national airspace safe without operating ATC? Here are two options:
* Don't bother, just let the planes fly wherever they want, but levy a fine when they crash.
* Put it out to tender every 5 years and fine commercial ATC operators when crashes occur.
Both of them shut the stable door after the horse has bolted, and would probably require them to operate at least a passive sort of ATC themselves in order to assess blame.
