Why not raise income taxes a bit and get rid of all of the current surchages in place. Americans currently pay one of the lowest tax rates in the World and our current president thinks it is still too high. Anyone saying let the users pay for the services should realize that air travel benefits everyone even if they do not fly.

I can still not understand why I have to pay US Customs to search my bags--should not their expenses come in part from the duty they collect arriving passengers?
