Thanks so much for all of you who have responded to my original posting (of looking for a research topic). As you probably have guessed from my silence, I'm a bit swamped with the end-of-semester work (homework grading, exams, final project, etc.), so haven't been able to answer your post yet.
I won't be an expert enough to do research on "worthless" airport security :-), but I'll definitely look into the work of other b-school professors and others. (sorry for being ignorant, but what is Academy in Denver?)
During the month of May, I'll start bugging you again with lots of questions (You're forwarned! :-) ). Thanks again for your posts.
