FT says:
Profits are derived from landing charges, parking fees and selling Burberry scarves and smoked salmon. Only a basic knowledge of economics is needed to explain why there are longer queues at the X-ray machines than for the scarves and the salmon.

Isn't it also a bit of chicken and egg question.
I haven't bought my salmon at least twice just because of the long queue of security.
