9/11 fee?
So i was booking a flight for my friend this afternoon and upon reading the tax details i see: tax inc. 9/11 fee
Tax includes 9/11 fee? Does anyone know anything about this? On a side note, why do the U.S. and possibly other countries have to pay for what those sons of b****es did?

9/11 has been an excuse to do just about every bad thing since it happened.

Real indeed: Booking my flight
I've done some research and found out whats its all about. Its legal name is "9/11 Security Fee" and is imposed for tighter security in airports. A lot of people over here agree with you on this matter Anti-Trend, but i don't. I think the money actually does go towards tighter security and not directly to our government for whatever they need it for. Still, i don't think we should be paying for what happened.

 Airport security is still a joke in terms of what it can possibly accomplish. For example, they make you put all your toiletries in a ziplock bag, but they don't actually check anything inside it at all. How do they know for sure there's actually deoderant in my deoderant container? It's just a placebo to make people feel like their government did something to protect them, while meanwhile military spending goes unchecked.
