The wording of the supplementary appropriation signed by the President, I just checked it on the DHS (Dept of Homeland Security-TSA's parent org) website indicates the govt will give back to the airlines what they collect for security charges. Sounds like I just gave AA $20 for 2 award tickets and now they'll get $20 more out of the check I just wrote IRS this week. Great! I just called AA and they say all this is news to them. They're still charging "up to" $10 in security fees for each award ticket. I need to quit my day job and go be a lobbyist for the airlines!
