Jess👾Lukewarm take: TSA and Air Traffic Controllers need to be simply funded by an excise tax on airlines, and not subject to annual appropriations bills.

@JessTheUnstill Kinda like it's done in the #EU and espechally #Germany, where #AirportFees cover mandatory expenses like #Security.
- In fact, #Airports are responsible on their own for #security and Federal Police are merely stationed as mandate per juristiction and because they absorbed fmr. Federal Border Guard which do immigrations.
- Private Security is being used almost exclusively and those companies usually get paid per personnel hours and passengers they process, so there's financial incentive to make security as efficient and frictionless as possible.
