Rutan, no probs, send them a bill, just discount it from the bill they send you for what it actually costs to provide the airport.
Lead, no worries, that's your choice as a consumer to refuse to use any airport you wish. No one will shed a tear if you don't go there. Its a discretionary choice. Other uses for the infrastucture, fine, hope some work, but I can imagine the whinging from the fraternity because they couldn't use it because the "money-grubbing council" had rented it out to a "bloody car club fer chris' sake" when they wanted to go there.
As for your other analogies? Good choices. Sucking on the public teat has left us with a broken health system, a broken education system, and a broken public transport system. Two are provided by the state, haemorrhage money like there's no tomorrow and cut services/close facilities at the drop of a hat if there's not enough funding ( and we still have co-payments, Medicare Levy, private health insurance etc on top of our taxes), and if you have ever used a private hospital or school, well how was your bank balance after that? Because they do have to return a profit, and what that service actually costs is not pretty. As for your "public" bus, almost always provided by a private contractor of some description (who is making a profit, or he wouldn't do it), said profit subsidised almost completely by the taxpayer, and when the money runs out, services get cut, or the price paid by the actual user goes up. Sure we pay taxes, but look at the country, and our current state of finances. The place costs more to run than we pay. There's no free ride at just about any level.
Back to the original post, if you want to make access easier, lobby the government to review the security regs. Don't bag the airport who has no choice but to implement regs they don't want either.
