Cost-benefit analysis of Australian Federal Police counter-terrorism operations at Australian airports
The terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 highlighted the vulnerabilities of airports and aircraft.

The scope for further research is highlighted, particularly in relation to risk analysis and cost
