@karlauerbach @rsalz Also we literally pay a TSA tax on every ticket.

@adamshostack @rsalz I had not realized that there is already a TSA surcharge on airline tickets. I am usually more amenable to arguments of the form "TSA benefits everyone, not just airlines [and passengers]", but in this case the locus of benefits is so tightly defined that it does make sense for airlines to pay the costs of TSA. (We also often forget that TSA deals with airfreight in addition to human-freight.) (I haven't flown commercially for several years - it's actually kinda nice to be relieved of that travel nightmare.)

@adamshostack @karlauerbach @rsalz Exactly. There should be no requirement for a CR from Congress to keep the TSA going.
