I agree on the fact that numerous taxes are charged on an air ticket, however none if any relate to security charges.
America has always charged some of the silliest of taxes that could ever be levied on an air ticket - Customs Inspection, Agriculture Inspection etc. Now we have the UK taxes and airport PFC (Passenger Facility Charge - which use to be part of the airfare and then was shown seperately by the airlines to avoid having to pay travel agents commission). At the end of the day let the governments do the collection, let them organise the security and let them sort out the aoolocation of these fees internally.
