Paying TSA More to Do... What?

Oh right, nothing.

Senate Appropriations Committee moves forward on increasing "airline passenger security fees," because apparently having people sitting around doing nothing but groping and hassling American citizens is not a lucrative business opportunity - at least, when the government is involved.  My solution to the TSA budget shortfall is really easy.  I bet you can even guess what it is.

I also take particular exception to a certain line from the article:

"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."


Senator Landrieu, what on God's green earth gives you the idea that I rely on TSA?  Really?  You're going to force me to be groped and harassed over strawberry jelly and then claim that I rely on these services and therefore ought to pay more?  You've got to be kidding me.
