The Homeland Security Department is getting ripped off on the $2.50 fee that airlines are supposed to collect from passengers for every flight they take, AP reports. The airlines are underpaying TSA by up to $14.5 million a year, according to the Homeland Security Department's inspector general. The money is supposed to fund federal airport security screening efforts.
