All travelers (not airlines) will pay the same $2.50 fee. If the airlines want to continue the elite lines, the only legitimate way would be for them to pay the government more money on behalf of us.

Not to get off on a very Omni tangent or seem like I'm flaming anyone, but since when has the following been true with respect to government services in America:
Dollars in = services out
It mystifies me that people believe this. It should be obvious that very few pay disproportionately more than they receive in a whole range of government "services". There is no way to extract "legitimacy" from any of this.
