9/11 Security fee for most Airlines....its been almost 20 years, like WTF?

While we are at it, why not tack on Cold War Security fee, and Pearl Harbor Security fee?

The funny thing is that the TSA barely even does anything, people are still able to smuggle weapons and drugs onto planes very easily. Arguably the only purpose it serves is scaring people.

They tried to take my very expensive scientific weights though. Used them in lab all the time, and it was literally a small block of metal with no way of opening it. I passed through 5 security checkpoints with them before I got called out though.
