It's all about the money, reality and common sense be damned.

This is why the battle is so difficult.

YARMOUTH, Maine—An increase in global air travel, the persistent threat of terrorist attacks and new regional security directives are all contributing to increased spending on airport security measures throughout the world, according to new analysis by Frost & Sullivan.

Global expenditures on airport security reached $19.1 billion in 2011, according to Frost & Sullivan's Global Airport Security Market Assessment. That number is expected to reach $45.43 billion by 2018, a 137.8 percent increase, according to the research. "High threat perceptions of criminal or terrorist attacks will continue to boost investment in airport security," Anthony Leather, a Frost & Sullivan research analyst, said in a statement. "Regional and global legislation is constantly amended and updated in an attempt to address any criminal or terrorist activity. This has compelled airport operators worldwide to continually update latest security procedures and technology solutions." The research covers perimeter security, surveillance, access control, integration, screening, command and control and, personnel.

Despite the global economic downturn, investment in airport infrastructure will continue to rise.

There's been a tendency by some posters to provide just a link and a very cursory comment. This type of post really isn't useful in the long-term. News sites often "stale" stories after a certain time, either moving them to their paid archives or simply removing them. That leaves us with no story at all.

There should be enough information in the post that a reader can get the story without following the link. If you can't accomplish that within our copyright limits, paraphrase in your own words or seek additional sources to quote.

Additionally, to help search engines find their way into TUG, all posts should always include (as much as practical) the names of law enforcement officers & agencies, the names of TSA "officers", and the names of victims.

Videos (YouTube/Vimeo/Facebook) should always be embedded in our posts -- zero copyright issues there since the content remains on the host sites, and it is the host sites that actually provides the embedding code.
