Nanda Journeys

Every day, around 2 to 3 million people pass through US airport security.

Each traveler pays a $5.60 TSA fee as part of their ticket.
That adds up to more than $4 billion a year.

The total TSA budget sits closer to $11 to $12 billion.

So travelers are contributing billions annually.

And yet right now:
Security lines are stretching to hours
TSA agents are working without pay
Airports are under real strain

Here is the part many people don’t realize.

Not all of those traveler fees go to TSA.
A significant portion is redirected elsewhere.

If millions of everyday journeys help fund the system…
why are TSA agents not being paid?
