I meant more like to any specific individual. Not the group as a whole. The upper middle class person is just inconvinced. Someone of lesser means may not make it to see a dieing relative or what not.
Of course there will be the inconvenienced regular person, but airport inconvenience will hit higher income people to a far more disproportionate rate than the average person.
With any problem, even the best case scenario solution isn't going to please everybody, and that's too bad. The best way to handle that is to anticipate it, and be ready with a plan for those who are inconvenienced by the new solution. The worst thing to do is to abandon a good solution that helps the vast majority, because a few have an issue with it.
I'm just saying the impact of inconvenience to 1000 people is about the same as the bigger impact people with less means feel of 100 people. So the total numbers can be skewed and still impact the rich less. I am not saying that is happening, just that it isn't cut and dry.
