The Transportation Security Administration will raise fees added to airline ticket prices which offset the costs for performing body scans and pat downs.
The fees are currently $2.50 for a non-stop flight or $5.00 for a trip with a layover, but with next month’s increase that Congress approved back in December, the new fees will be $5.60 for a non-stop flight and an extra $5.60 for each leg of the trip when the flights are over four hours apart.
“The revenue is to be used to offset TSA costs for providing civil aviation security services, after stipulated amounts are applied to reduction of the Federal deficit,” stated Ross Feinstein, press secretary for the TSA, in a press release.

ReplyDeleteNo charge, they just declare it a security risk, and steal it...
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to Boycott the airlines until the TSA is abolished.
