DALLAS AP – A federal appeals court panel said regulators overcharged airlines for some security costs after the 2001 terror attacks but rejected other parts of the airlines’ broad attack on the fee system.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington said Tuesday the Transportation Security Administration wrongly included the cost of screening non-passengers in the airline fees. The judges sent the case back to the TSA to recalculate the fees.
