It seems that the passenger has already paid for those assets. I still don't understand how the government can make the claim that this is a straight across transfer. That asset base was built up through fees that the paying public has paid. The government is now saying that we're going to take that asset base, which the public has paid for, and put it into general revenue, and then we're going to charge you a second time. That doesn't make any sense.
