摘要：The RAND Corporation is known for its meticulous¡ªat times painstaking¡ªresearch on numerous national security topics. Efficient Aviation Security is no exception. A collection of tightly-woven essays written by knowledgeable research analysts, the book offers a diverse range of viewpoints. While well written and packed with solid, useful information, it ploughs ground already furrowed many times over; there are no new or innovative insights that national security decision makers might use to forge a new and better way to secure air transportation networks. Conclusions offered, although solid and well-grounded, have been offered many times over in the years since the September 11, 2001 (9/11) terrorist attacks. While the book doesn't offer any lasting conclusions, it at least asks the right questions to frame substantive debate of the issue at hand. Given this context, the potential reader is best served by a review of the Preface, Summary, and Conclusion as they will provide the most meaningful data points the book has to offer
