54.50 for taxes/fees; they are crazy

Passenger facility charges up to $18 per passenger depending on itinerary. September 11th Security Fee up to $10 per round-trip and U.S. departure taxes up to $26.40 depending on itinerary. Taxes/Fees totaling 54.50 - brings a L/U fare that is normally 170.00 up past 220.00.

Hopefully I am not the only person that thinks this is ridiculous. Forget about SECURITY, its a joke now - and its probably going to stay that way. The government should compensate the people that are truly the best defense against terrorism - THE PASSENGERS. If anyone, anywhere, on any flight tries to do anything unusual or out of the ordinary the passengers of the flight would subdue the unruly passenger.

Save us some money - forget about "SECURITY" (they are more like minimum wage personal gropers) that don't do JACK SHI*.

sorry just venting.
