Senate Dems back increase in air travel fee to close funding shortfall at TSA
Money quote:
Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) said the $315 million in funding would otherwise come from taxpayers and argued it is better to stick passengers who rely on TSA with the bill.
“Passengers who rely on TSA?” They’re going to raise that much money just from airline passengers who are family members of TSA goons?
“Yes ma’am, we have you booked on the 3:15 flight to Tulsa. That’ll be five million dollars, please.”
Hey, I can dream.
