Those Airport Security Lines
Posted by Victor Fleischer
Ever wonder what economic effect those long lines have? These guys can tell you.

We should take some of the money dedicated to screening (whether in the form of cash outlays or silly rules that lead to welfare losses) and reallocate it to better uses.
