But Think of the VALUE!!!

The price of sexual assault is going up! No, not mandatory minimum sentencing for sex offenders, but the price of keeping our airports filled with sex offenders with government immunity!

Transportation Security Administration fees on plane tickets are rising Monday, and travelers used to non-stop flights or long layovers will notice the biggest change.

The current fee is $2.50 for a non-stop flight or $5 for a connecting flight. The new fee will be $5.60 for all flights, with any connection longer than four hours counting as a separate flight.

Although Congress approved the fee hike to help reduce the deficit, TSA is the agency getting pounded by more than 300 comments through Friday largely criticizing the agency and government taxation. Although the fees are going into effect, TSA will collect comments through Aug. 19.

There are more fees for a connecting flight??? I don’t know about you guys, but once I set out on air travel I check in ONCE into the secure area, and I stay there. I guess you can leave the area if you have a bit of time, but even the new added fee for longer than 4 hours, seems a bit much. I mean 4 hours is probably JUST enough time to step out of the secure area, eat a burger in the airport proper, and then get back in line.

Here’s an interesting bit!

Patrick Riehl of Cambridge, Mass., argued that two things other than the TSA have made aviation safer since the Sept. 11 attacks that prompted creation of the agency: reinforced cockpit doors and passengers who fight back. “It only succeeds in humiliating the elderly, scaring children and making all travelers feel like criminal suspects,” he said in submitted comments. “We should scale back airport security, not expand it.”

Man, there are reasonable people in Cambridge??? He’s right, the TSA has stopped NO terrorists, and have saved NO lives, but they have wasted a ton of money and sexually assaulted a lot of people.

Hence why they need MORE money! Think of the value! We should just give these gate-rapists a blank check! They’re WORTH IT!

Disband the TSA YESTERDAY!!!

    It gets worse. The Cash that is being Robbed from the Traveling Public does NOT, repeat DOES NOT go to the TSA! It goes to the “General Fund,” and MAYBE some of it comes back to the TSA. But I bet you 99.99% will go to Obamacare, the EPA, the DOE for “Clean Energy Research,” etc.

    Sounds like it’s a Tax and not a Fee to me….

      great point. Which also means, like every bloated and worthless federal agency, it means the TSA won’t take too long before they stick their hand out AGAIN!

      Much like there is no such thing as a minimum wage that is too low to “Progressives” there is no tax/fee that is too low either. I mean you traveled to the airport on federal highways, so you didn’t REALLY earn your money! It’s REALLY just the government’s money, so fork it over proll!

    Go to the unsecured side for a burger?

    One time I flew home to MSP, I made it, but my bags did not. They promised they would show up in 4 hours, so I waited. There were things in there I did not want to trust to ramp rats more than I needed to (business confidential paper). Except there was nothing to eat on the unsecured side of the airport, except coffee and scones. And w/o a valid ticket, no way to get to a burger or a bar.

    Worse, nothing to drink…
