if you are dropping $700 on a flight to NY , 705.50 will hardly be an issue unless you are part of the 99%. | This

I would do just about anything to avoid flying in or out of an american airport at the best of times, so this really makes no difference.
I'm really quite good on the amount of groping I currently receive in flying. I also like to control the scenarios under which people photograph my balls.

In all honesty, I've just been driving down and then flying within the States as it's much cheaper than in Canada. If anything, this new tax is just going to encourage me even more! You'll save $5.50 just from bringing back a some booze anyways. Our HST was worse.

| I'm the same way, the more I can avoid ANY time in the states the better.

you seem kind of like the majority of the Americans who don't possess a passport because they think their country's too awesome for the need to travel elsewhere.

now, not all drugs are less expensive, but the majority of them are.

I have been to to:
China
Japan
Mexico
Holland
France
Poland
Czech Republic
I've been to Houston for school & Las Vegas for work, but only because travel was free. I was largely unimpressed by those visits.
