I have five flights already booked and paid for in December/January. Will I be charged for the additional TSA fees? If so, I consider the fees to be an outlandish increase on the already-heavy burden that air passengers bear.

On the other hand, I expect this to be my last trip to the States (I will be flying to Europe a lot more in the future) so if I don't have to pay for these five flights, I think this additional charge is a much-needed source of revenue for the federal coffers which will, I hope, keep me from seeing my US Income Tax increased.
