That fee is there to remind us that the terrorists won.
Based on the flags being waved in the streets of NYC, Texas and California the terrorists are continuing to ‘win’ in America. UK looking that way too, electing them this week.
Of course the U.S. would find a way to charge you for terrorism.

You say it as if it is a bad thing. Want communism or theocracy?
That’s not capitalism.

None of that makes it capitalism, which is an economic system where private companies own everything. A company charging fees isn’t capitalism.
Using capitalism to describe every negative thing a company does is no different than the other side calling every social policy communist.
Capitalism is bad, but use the term correctly.

You clearly need to know the difference so let me help you:
Something bad happens: It is the fault of socialism
Something bad happens because of a company: Clearly the company is just looking out for its best interests and even if it’s at fault it’s unspeakable to blame the system for the actions of one bad company on the system that incentivizes companies to do that. Have you considered people are lazy?
I hope that helped.
Ah you’re right, why hold individuals accountable when we can just blame the system and absolve them of responsibility

Most places do, they just lump it into the total cost instead of outright telling you.
The fee not being $9.11 is really a missed opportunity
Inflation hit like a plane, or two
Also you could add a $17.76 freedom fee.
And a 694.20 meme fee
You are getting overcharged.
I only pay 420.69
Don’t sell yourself so cheap! 69.420 is the corrected amount, in Sweet Lord Jesus currency.
Umm, what?
Some interesting insights into how much money they collect with that fee and how far it goes to offset the security theater performances.
Go look at a BA ticket. I just found out that my round trip flight from the US to Scotland is only $60. Round. Trip. For $60.
Of course there’s $260 in taxes and airport fees and $280 in “carrier surcharges”.
premium flex~
you know the flight is premium just from the heft it does to your wallet~
Those mandatory extra fees are more than I paid for my last Ryanair flight.
if (canz make profit) then [ do that ]
else … wtf is this “else” thing?!
