An Economic Study of U.S. Aircraft Hijacking, 1960-1976
- bediger4000 3y ago> a $3.24 to $9.25 million expenditure to deter a single hijacking. Put differently, if the dollar equivalent of the loss to an individual hijacked passenger were in the range of $76,718 to $219,221, then the costs of screening would just offset the expected hijacking losses. How does this compare to other crime fighting expenditures? Seems high to me, but I generally live a peaceful life, and I no longer own a gun.
