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.
