A smarter border starts at the airports by Toby C.D. Lennox (March 2011)

The war on terrorism after the attacks of September 11, 2001 cost at least U.S. $ 1.4 billion, but the bill could rise to three billion dollars. The biggest expense is attributed to the U.S. government's policy response, first by the reaction to the attacks to attack Afghanistan and then with the decision of President George W. Bush to invade Iraq - based on the debate on Islamic extremism and weapons of mass destruction. Both wars have cost U.S. $ 1.4 billion in the past decade, a figure that will continue to increase according to the Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorist Events (CREATE) under the Department of Homeland Security.

The center added that the U.S. government loaned money to cover the cost of two wars, which has impacted hundreds of billions of dollars in interest on the national debt.

According to 'The cost of the war, "Brown University research, the U.S. has spent 400 billion dollars in security, plus 1.3 billion in the two wars, excluding interest on debt incurred and the expenditure of care for veterans of armed conflict.

Meanwhile, the CREA indicates that the bill for fighting Osama bin Laden in the past 15 years amounts to three billion dollars, including the deployment of 150 000 troops in the war fronts and 'inflated' national security apparatus has pushed the boundaries of civil liberties. The cost also includes the rise in oil prices, 'partially' attributable to the global war against bin Laden's terrorist network and a growing proportion of the national debt. Another report says the economic impact on commercial aviation amounted to six thousand 300 million dollars, including the suspension of aerial activity over the two days and a half after the attacks.

The estimate indicates that each of the four downed aircraft, represents an economic loss of one billion dollars, including compensation for each of the passengers, plus 1.6 billion due to lower spending inputs to airlines and 4.75 billion on account of losses in business and leisure passengers.
