Regulatory Expert Claims New TSA $45 Fee for Flying Without ID is Unlawful

A travel industry expert asserts that the Transportation Security Administration’s new $45 fee for domestic flyers lacking identification is not supported by existing U.S. law. The expert contends that federal statute does not mandate ID presentation or payment of ancillary fees for air travel clearance. This challenge focuses on the lack of congressional mandate and proper administrative approval for the enforcement mechanism.
