Very true!
And many billions were taken in too; about $4.26B in 2019 alone:

I reckon there will be "Pandemic prevention and security fee" added to all flights in the US. And unlike the $5.60 for the 9/11 fee, it will be SUBSTANTIALLY greater and its proceeds not only going to the TSA.
My guess: $32.00 (although I think they'll finally drop the '9/11 fee' designation and roll it all into this one).
Added:
Actually, I think they'll split it this time: say $16.00 for domestic/international, except: $32.00 for TPAC and TATL.
