The fee is capped at $5 per one-way, no matter how many segments, which leads to a $10 cap per round trip.
But if you connect once (four segment round trip) you pay $10 even though you are screened only once (actually your airline pays $10, since there's no evidence that airlines are actually passing the tax along to pax).
