Anything that involves tax dollars are sensitive social issues.
Costs would likely be rolled into the fees charged to passengers. After 9/11 passengers began paying a "Transportation Security Fee" of $5.60 per passenger per flight. ATC is covered by a 7.5% tax on the ticket price plus $3.90 per "segment." The ATC fees generate about $10 billion per year.
