Abstract: Abstract The events of September 11, 2001 led to sweeping nationwide changes in aviation security policy and operations. The piecemeal and reactive nature of many of these changes has resulted in large increases in costs and inconvenience to travelers. The August 2006 arrest in London of several suspected terrorists plotting to blow up 10 US-bound transatlantic flights, and the ensuing changes in airport security procedures, serve to further illustrate this point.
