Putting counter measures on a civilian airlines plane sounds like making city busses bullet proof. It should not be necessary for those and if it is then it is not adressing the real problem. (Like if school teacher who says not to worry about your kids because he is wearing a condom / she is on a pill...)
I mean, these planes shouldn't be flying over warzones at all and attacking civilian planes is illegal and just so wrong in so many ways that it should not be an issue.
Besides I don't feel like paying two or three times as much for my airplane tickets just because the plane has some anti-missile flares and ECM etc.
