Now then how many airports are there in America?

14,893 (2005) According to the CIA. But for convenience, we'll use the number of airports with paved runways (5,120)

5,120* $500,000.00 (assuming there will be only 1 per airport)= $2,560,000,000

Now, 3 minutes per report per passenger on a flight where 100 people will be bording=

300 minutes. = 5 hours.

Of course, more could be ordered to reduce the wait time, but the cost is already at around $2.5 Billion.

Now, I know Detroit Metro has 2 or 3 security checks for every concourse (A, B, and C), so Detroit would have to have, at least, 3 of those. Then if each security check had to share them, that'd take an extreme amount of time.

Now, how about Washington National airport? That has 4+ checks for each concourse. I have yet to be at LAX or any larger airports, so I can't tell you what they would have. So everybody with a drink must arrive 7+ hours early if they plan on getting on their plane... OR we could just not allow drinks on the plane. Hmm... tough decision, and that's not even considering the price of the equipment.


whoa.
