Senate DEMS: Increase Grope Fees

Senate Dems back increase in air travel fee to close funding shortfall at TSA

The Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday moved forward with legislation to increase airline passenger security fees, beating back a GOP attempt to keep them at current levels.

The 2013 Homeland Security appropriations bill would increase one-way fees for passengers from $2.50 to $5 in order to close a budget shortfall at the Transportation Security Administration.

Way to go Democrats!!!

Yep your looking out for us little people!

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.

Yes peons it is better to stick you to you after they grope you hell at least they could buy you dinner first.

What say you Ats?

Make the people pay and the TSA plays how bout cutting those union TSA thugs pay and benefits?

What they would make too much sense now wouldn't it?

That amendment was defeated on a 15-15 vote. Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) joined Republicans in supporting the measure to strip out the fee increase.

They tried like hell tho.

Wow...I've seen it all.

Maybe the TSA should go the route of the post office and start closing up shop.
