"the man who stole an aircraft" was a mentally disturbed member of the Civil Air Patrol who knew the key combinations to both the perimeter fence and the CAP hangar.  It had NOTHING to do with Merrill Field security.  Also security is not free.  Who would pay for that?  The airport is owned by the Municipality of Anchorage.  Are you willing to pay higher taxes to pay for the added security?  Probably not.  So all the tenants would have to pay for increased security.  That is for them to decide if they want to pay for a higher security level.
