Résumé
"The terrorist attacks of 11 September
2001 highlighted the vulnerabilities of
airports and aircraft. Further attacks
in 2002, 2007 and 2009, have led
to major government reforms in
passenger processing and airport
access. The security of Australian
airports has also followed this trend,
with an increased police presence.
However, limited consideration has
been given to the costs of these
measures, compared to benefit. This
Working Paper identifies the factors
to be considered in such cost-benefit
analyses and the authors outline
their preliminary findings. The scope
for further research is highlighted,
particularly in relation to risk analysis
and cost."--Page 1.
