Abstract

© 2014 IEEE.While careful and prudent settings for airport security policies and strategies are more important than ever, most of them have been implemented as a direct result of terrorist activities rather than motivated by a proper assessment. Furthermore, even if many scholars have proposed ways to assess and evaluate alternative airport security policies particularly by using cost-benefit analysis, they have overlooked two important facets: parameter measurability and social aspects of security policies. In this study, we develop a variant of cost-benefit analysis which we term 'Relative Cost-Benefit Analysis' and illustrate how we can resolve these problems.
