However, I can state that those who carry over a specific amount of bullets in their carry-on baggage are fined, those who carry gun parts are fined, and of course, those who carry firearms. We find bullets more than anything else, I would say. And depending upon the season, we find more of all of these items than usual on any given day; and of course, the size of the airport, and location of the airport are a factor.

I have never "collected" money from a passenger. However, what TSA does with the money it collects from fines, I have no idea, nor am I too interested to look it up. Sorry, just being honest. But I suspect that information can be found, if you so desire to spend the time looking.
