Do you know if the airlines pay the TSA for the security?

It seems like adding some direct private funding and influence would help alleviate some of these issues. Of courses that would affect ticket prices, but an extra hundred per passenger wouldn't be such a bad thing if it drastically improved the situation.

The airport contracts wee with the TSA. US airports can contract with private security as long as the procedure is TSA-approved.

the government does not need private funding when it can just reach into your pocket, in this case to collect the September 11 Security Fee which airlines attach to your ticket on behalf of TSA.
