I think that airlines could be really gaining market share here. I know if I had a choice between flying an airline who offers additional "premium" services such as that extra glass of water or that extra trip down the aisle or an airline who is just chucking 2 OZs of water at me only 25 mins into a 3 hour flight, I most definitely will fly airline A with the extra services even if they are 20 bucks more expensive.

It's lack of service, lack of respect by the airlines for the customer that's shelling out several hundred dollars that bugs me as much as the retarded new security rules. How much is the customer also supposed to feel the pain of the nearly bankrupt airlines? It would be so easy and cheap for the airlines to make the traveller's trip a little easier by compensating for everything we can no longer take on planes. But they don't. They won't. Flying is already vastly more bothersome and time-consuming than it was 7 or 8 years ago, and the airlines ignore it. Instead they float ideas about standing on flights instead of actual seats so they can cram more people into the space. I agree.
