In addition, extrapolating wildly from the apparent capacities of the 9/11 hijackers, some have greatly exaggerated the threat presented internationally by small bands of terrorists, sometimes even to the point of deeming it to be existential—a process that may be repeating itself with the vicious group called ISIS or the Islamic State. This chapter examines what might be called the misoverestimation of terrorism—playing on a verbal invention of George W. Bush.

Our risk-based framework is published in important, peer-reviewed journals: Risk Analysis and Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, and it was included in our 2018 book, How Safe is Safe Enough? Measuring and Assessing Aviation Security. We systematically and transparently apply standard risk-analytic and cost-benefit methods, ones that are routinely applied throughout the world. We use the standard definition of risk adopted by the DHS and TSA where the reduction in risk is the degree to which the security measure foils, deters, disrupts, or protects against a terrorist attack. A security measure is cost-effective when the benefit of the measure outweighs the costs of providing the security measures. Our results are based on robust systems reliability analysis and cost-benefit assessments. We find that secondary cockpit barriers are highly costeffective: Very effective: The secondary barrier reduces risk by up to 15%. Total risk reduction from all layers of aviation security then exceeds 99%. ; Modest cost of only $5 million per year for entire US commercial airline fleet. ; $10,000 each annualised for 6,000 aircraft over 15-20 year service life. ; Break-even analysis shows that even if there were only one terrorist hijacking attack in a thousand years (annual attack probability of 0.1%) and the terrorists arrived at the airport undeterred and undetected, secondary barriers would still be cost-effective. ; The benefit-to-cost ratio is a high 41 – $1 of cost buys $41 of benefit (lives saved, damage averted. ; Cost effective even if risk reduction is reduced by a factor of ten and costs quadruple.]]> Tue 07 Jan 2020 16:28:44 AEDT ]]> Socio-economic and Political Determinants of Terrorism in Pakistan:University Students' Perceptions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:41357 Tue 02 Aug 2022 14:24:20 AEST ]]> Baudrillard and the Prophetic: Reimagining the Twin Towers in Avengers Infinity War https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:43050 Thu 25 May 2023 11:51:30 AEST ]]> The curse of the black swan https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28900 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:15:37 AEDT ]]> Killing in a posthuman world: the philosophy and practice of critical military history https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:31674 The Posthuman (2013), she writes that "the advocates of advanced capitalism seem to be faster in grasping the creative potential of the posthuman than some of the well-meaning and progressive neo-humanism opponents of the system." When looking at the new militaries of the twenty-first century, her observation points to a very real crisis in critical feminist thinking and practice. New military technologies have already dislodged the centrality of the human in the process of waging war. Drones, robotics, chemical alteration of brain states, and sophisticated psychological manipulation are now at the heart of modern warfare. At a time when thanatopolitical biopolitical practices are dominating military research and practice, scholars need to follow Braidotti's nomadic journey toward a critical posthumanism.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:44:50 AEDT ]]> Risk assessment and cost-effectiveness of infrastructure protection https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:9119 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:39:23 AEDT ]]> Australian regional strategy, terrorism and the risk of asymmetric warfare https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:8615 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:35:43 AEDT ]]> New frontiers, old problems: the war on terror and the notion of anticipating the enemy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:2518 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:31:01 AEDT ]]> Terrorism risks and blast damage to built infrastructure https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:1155 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:44 AEDT ]]> Countering terrorism: from wigged judges to helmeted soldiers - legal perspectives on America's counter-terrorism responses https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:2441 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:26:50 AEDT ]]> Icons of fear: terrorism, torture, and the media. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:15608 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:24:19 AEDT ]]> Responding to terrorism in the era of the governance state https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:15572 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:20:02 AEDT ]]> Global risk and the surveillance state: a sociology of new terrorism https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:13318 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:16:42 AEDT ]]> Risk-informed decision support for assessing the costs and benefits of counter-terrorism protective measures for infrastructure https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:10743 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:14:29 AEDT ]]> Acceptable risk criteria for infrastructure protection https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:10933 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:13:21 AEDT ]]> Iconic photojournalism and absent images: democratization and memories of terror https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:9841 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:11:40 AEDT ]]> Acceptability of terrorism risks and prioritising protective measures for key infrastructure https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:11992 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:09:40 AEDT ]]> Terror, security and money: balancing the risks, benefits, and costs of homeland security https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:16603 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:39 AEDT ]]> Terrorism and counterterrorism in the US: the question of responsible policy-making https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20717 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:21 AEDT ]]> Life-safety risks and optimisation of protective measures against terrorist threats to infrastructure https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:18150 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:42 AEDT ]]> Hírszerzési kudarcok?
