> I actually would probably be in support of having these costs passed on to airports What I am confused by is that my international tickets already have several fees and taxes that go to the US government (not the airline or airport), amount to a fair bit per person, and in theory are to cover all this security and processing. Isn't this ~$20 per person enough? I really wish they had big signs at "security" checks saying "You paid $8 for this".
