Maybe it is time for the airlines to itemize their ticket charges. Restaurants do it.
Do airlines charge the government for acting as collecting agents? There is a cost reduction revenue enhancing idea.
The airports could always install atms at the security gates, pay as you go. I recall getting charged in Montreal for some airport fee or other that was not included in the fare, they were nice, took US Dollars, lightened the load in my "carry on baggage".

You do. The customer. It's baked into your fare. And we all collect for the government for free. No one gets paid for it. Not IBM nor UAL.
