摘要: This article is interested in understanding the monetary costs of the no-fly list program. As such, it seeks to answer some basic and fundamental questions that have not yet been answered (or asked): How much does the no-fly list cost to create and maintain? What are the costs of the consequences, both intended and unintended, of the list? How many resources, both governmental and private, are involved in the operation of the list? And, what are the benefits, both tangible (i.e. monetary) and intangible, that the list provides? This is an important set of questions because without understanding the monetary costs of a protection program relative to the benefits, it is difficult to assess whether or not the program is worth the costs. Further, without such an understanding it is impossible to intelligently decide how anti-terror money should be allocated. It is surprising that, given the importance of these questions, they have not been asked and addressed in a systematic fashion.
