That we know of anyway.

That is strange.

4. TSA reported today that they will pick up the cost of the additional screening as far as time and increased personnel and new machines that will no doubt be added at checkpoints but in reality there will be some new fees added to our ticket costs to pay for this, as in TAXES.

Yup. The worst part is that most people don't seem to feel much safer. I don't travel by air enough to really know how much of pain all tis is, but it sounds prohibitary.
