Make Airline TSA Fees Go Directly to TSA

To: Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Gillibrand, Sen. Schumer

From: A verified voter in Jackson Heights, NY

March 24

As a registered Democrat in Jackson Hts Queens who never misses the chance to vote, can you please create/pass a bill that would make the fees we pay for TSA every time we buy an airline ticket (as implemented after 9/11) actually go DIRECTLY to TSA instead of to the general Federal Treasury where it can be diverted to other unrelated things? This is a theft against every American who flies! And it is unconscionable that we allow this malappropriation of citizen's money to be used AS A BARGAI NING CHIP every time the Republicans want to force the Democrats to fund their harmful agendas. That money was designated as a promise to keep Americans safe from airline terrorism and keep airports running efficiently. And now we're not feeding TSA workers, so we can fund ICE?
