9-11 Security fees to double?

I woke up this morning to my clock radio blaring the news. In my half-groggy state, I thought I heard that the Feds were considering doubling the 9/11 security fee from $2.50/segment to $5.00 per segment, and that the announcement could come "as early as today." I have not been able to confirm this from any other news source. I was pretty out of it this morning, but I don't think I would imagine something like this. Has anyone else heard anything about this? Paying $20 in extra fees on top of taxes and PFCs is outrageous. Short haul flyers will be paying something like 40% of their fare in non-fare graft.
