Nearly every business has government imposed charges but airlines and now airports seem to want their cake and to eat it too!.
Supermarkets for example have to pay for waste disposal, would you be happy to buy your weekly shopping, pay for it at the checkout and then find the only exit barred by a turnstile requiring an extra charge for waste disposal which you would either have to pay or leave your shopping there.
This security is part of the costs of running an airport and should be passed to the airlines who in turn can pass it on to the consumer if they wish. It is about time the Office of Fair Trading or whatever it is now called put a stop to this practice in the airline industry which is getting way beyond a joke.
