520 In seeking to evaluate the efficacy of post-9/11 homeland
security expenses--which have risen by more than a
trillion dollars, not including war costs--the 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 cost-benefit evaluation techniques to answer this very
question.
