I strongly disagree with you.
"What about firemen, policemen, doctors, paramedics, all save lives and risk their lives? Where do you draw the line?"
The line is, most of those, bar the odd brave one or two a year go home to
a nice warm house / bed every night.
The soldier, sailor, airman and women might go home but
just as likely stuck in some barracks or dusty outpost and
have a much higher chance of getting killed.
As well as seemingly being screwed by the Gov't all the time.
And as for the airlines, why not, it's no big deal, can be done
at check in if they know how full the plane is or when the
passengers have sat down and the staff see free seats available.
Edit
And as the three posters above have said so well.
