Aviation Security in the New Century
Overview This paper debates over federalization of aviation security, which has been painted as a choice between safety (i.e. federal workers) and "the luxury" of private enterprise, which a nation at war cannot afford. A takeover of the aviation security industry by the federal government during this time of war will make people feel temporarily safer. The feeling of safety, however, will be an illusion. Such a new aviation security system will not encourage the most important ingredient of any successful enterprise: individual responsibility, accountability, and rewards.
