I would like to know how the Government can justify the expedited service fee. What can they do with $60 to process it faster? Actually, it probably costs thousands of dollars for the Government to process a passport.

Actual "processing" time is probably one man-hour (can I still say that?).
The rest of the time you passport is sitting at the bottom of L'shwandas "IN" box.
