You aren't looking

Flown internationally? Those big explosive scanners right out in front of you? Free? hardly. Staff to run them free? hardly.

Several thousand new government employees whose job it is to fly on your plane and not be seen. free? nope. The seats they occupy? nope.

How much more we pay versus what the airlines were paying is the subject of quite a bit of debate. It is most CERTAINLY more. I will be the last one to tell you that the government can do anything efficiently...so are we getting our money's worth? Not likely. But the same goes for Nat Defense, eduction and everything else our tax dollars "get" us.
