Sen. Dems Vote To Double Walk-Through-The-Airport Tax
Story
Do you "rely on the TSA?" The Senate Appropriations Committee thinks you should cough up an additional $10 per round trip to pay them, and voted to double the "9/11 Security Fee."
The 2013 Homeland Security appropriations bill would increase one-way fees for passengers from $2.50 to $5 in order to close a budget shortfall at the Transportation Security Administration.

Gotta pay for those ultra-effective, carefully-field-tested, demonstrably-100%-safe body scanners somehow.
