Title: 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.

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.

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) and Sen. Dan Coats (R-Ind.) sponsored an amendment to strip out the fee increase and offset the loss of revenue with cuts to state and local grants, emergency food and shelter funding, and dropping $89 million in funding for a new highway interchange leading to the Homeland Security’s new headquarters in southeast Washington, D.C. Hutchison noted that the Senate had decided not to increase the fees in the recent Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization bill.

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.

Hutchinson joined Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) in voting against the DHS bill as a whole. Johnson and Moran have been voting against non-defense 2013 appropriations bills. Johnson has said his votes are protesting the lack of a Senate budget resolution. The other Republicans on the Senate Appropriations Committee have all voted to support the August debt ceiling deal levels.

The committee on Tuesday also approved the 2013 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs spending bill, traditionally the least controversial of all 12 annual spending bills. The vote was 30-0.

TSA head John Pistole admitted recently that screeners are being trained to pay specific attention to the crotches of travelers moving through airport security.

“Pistole told me that the TSA has developed mock-ups of the bomb, and agents are being instructed on its design and how to detect it,” Goldberg writes.

“If done properly, it may be found,” Pistole said referring to TSA pat downs.

This is insanity! Eliminate DHS/TSA and allow the passengers their God given right to arm themselves in self defense. This worked to stop the airline hijackings of the 60's-70's.

Here's an idea... how about the Senate and house pay for their own air travel?

some text

"If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave."

You got that right!

My position has ALWAYS been that we should ARM ALL PASSENGERS.

I remember a story about a ChiCom domestic flight that some guy tried to hijack with a knife.

The passengers beat him to death with broom and mop handles.

Just have pistols loaded with with glaser safety loads or their ilk, that you issue people who request them for the flight.

Oh yeah ... I'm talking about what a FREE PEOPLE would do.

My bad.

It's actually pretty funny that some people are such sheep that they'll put up with this tyrannical crap.

The rest of us PLANNED on NOT ever flying anywhere once the feral gooberment started screwing airline security up.

Our motto is still, "if I can't take a 12 ga and a pistol, I'm not going."

If you want to fly, then you should pay.

Why should the taxpayer subsidize air travel anymore than it already does?

Same goes for other public transport. You ride, you pay...or walk.

Buck: Your above post categorically proves that you are not; you are a libertarian


Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.


Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Paying for your flight is libertarian. Being forced to pay the gov to fondle your crotch is NOT, it's statist progressive/neocon.

Brian, do you think that passengers should be forced to pay a gropage fee to the JBT's? Is it reasonable and legal to assume that you're a terrorist in need of a shakedown? No probable cause!

Good question.

One answer is that the feral gooberment just did what it does, grab at POWER. They got a brandy new HUGE feral gooberment union to play with and use.

Why?

Don't you feel safe with the equivalent of the Post Office running airline/airport "security"?

They're from de gooberment, and dyer der to hep y'all.
