Good points on tax transparency. Add-ons are itemized on air tickets in USA, though things like airport remodeling costs are opaque. Expensive 'raise arms under arrest' full body scanners aren't advertised as opt-in by TSA, but they are voluntary. I always go through standard metal detector only. Maybe the masses don't care enough about cost/ benefit and allow career beauracrats to run wild designing 'security'. Did you know the food store workers near the gates walk around TSA screening at most airports? Crazy.
