Airport security is one of the rare issues on which Republicans and Democrats agree. Airport security measures overseen by the fine men and women at the Transportation Security Administration are vital to our security when we travel. They keep us safe. They put our minds at ease. And too often, their service is unappreciated and goes unnoticed.

Right now, airports are trying to convince Congress that airports are woefully underfunded, and that this lack of funding poses a threat to airport security. Their remedy? Increase the cap on the Passenger Facility Charge, or PFC, 1 of 17 taxes and fees aviation users and travelers pay when purchasing airfare.
