I don't agree, Doc. My reasoning is simple:

Taken in the aggregate, a frequent flyer will contribute much, much more in the form of this new tax on an annual basis than an infrequent, non-elite.

So the elite flyer is entitled to special treatment.

I don't agree. It is a per pax fee, it is not a yearly fee to work averages over. Maybe the government will let you pay more and stand in a shorter line. But if I fly as much as you do, pay the same for my security fee, but fly in coach, we should be standing in the same $2.50 (or what ever it cost) line!
