In Seeking To Evaluate The Efficacy Of Post9/11 Homeland Security Expenseswhich Have Risen By More Than A Trillion Dollars, Not Including War Coststhe Common Query Has Been, 'Are We Safer?' This, However, Is The Wrong Question. Of Course We Are 'Safer'The Posting Of A Single Security Guard At One Building'S Entrance Enhances Safety. The Correct Question Is, 'Are Any Gains In Security Worth The Funds Expended?'In This Engaging, Readable Book, John Mueller And Mark Stewart Apply Risk And Costbenefit Evaluation Techniques To Answer This Very Question. This Analytical Approach Has Been Used Throughout The World For Decades By Regulators, Academics, And Businessesbut, As A Recent National Academy Of Science Study Suggests, It Has Never Been Capably Applied By The People Administering Homeland Security Funds. Given The Limited Risk Terrorism Presents, Expenses Meant To Lower It Have For The Most Part Simply Not Been Worth It. For Example, To Be Considered Costeffective, Increased American Homeland Security Expenditures Would Have Had Each Year To Have Foiled Up To 1,667 Attacks Roughly Like The One Intended On Times Square In 2010More Than Four A Day. Cataloging The Mistakes That The Us Has Madeand Continues To Makein Managing Homeland Security Programs, Terror, Security, And Money Has The Potential To Redirect Our Efforts Toward A More Productive And Far More Costeffective Course.
