Airport Security
Reader comment on item: No One Said Security Comes Cheap
Submitted by Jack Winnett (Israel), Aug 31, 2006 at 10:35
Your article comparing the cost per passenger of airport security apparently ignores "economies of scale".
It would be interesting to hear what professional economists think of this.

Daniel Pipes replies:
Economies of scale apply to industrial goods, not to hiring screeners to ask nosey questions.
