Why brooms and not carpets?

It occurs to me that a carpet is a LOT more likely to fall into Muggle hands 
than a broom.

After all, when eccntric old uncle George dies mysteriously, one is very 
likely to either install his carpet in your own study or sell it to the 
second-hand shop. A broom will either end up in your own utility closet or be 
thrown away. Now there aren't that many people who are randomly going to go 
through your closet for a broom. But anyone can come into the study. And if 
someone who does has a trace of magic...

Besides, a flying carpet, in use, is more VISIBLE than a broom.
