This is the only valid point Mr. Tully made with his airline analysis. Subsequently, the only point I agreed with.

[ QUOTE ]
And why should the TSA be funded through the aviation industry? The TSA is part of a broader campaign to bolster national security and should be paid for on a national basis, not an industry one. Shippers are not solely responsible for funding port security. Why should passengers shoulder the burden of paying for safer airports?

The TSA was formed under the Homeland Security Act, correct? This is a national administration, correct? Why should air passengers foot the entire bill. His port authority example was excellent. Like Bethune said, we, as air passengers, are being taxed like sinners for flying.
