Would airports be safer with more control towers? Of course. And control towers are certainly needed at high-traffic metropolitan airports with airline service. Will the world end when the FAA closes 149 "contract" control towers? Of course, not. Almost all of the airports with commercial airline service will continue to enjoy their FAA government-employee control towers. But the negative financial impact on the families and on the businesses in the 149 communities that will lose their FAA "contract" towers will be severe.
Meanwhile, $764,825 will be spent on a study of how students use cell phones, $606,000 will go to a study of online dating, and $175,587 is being spent to study a link between cocaine and the mating habits of quail. Go figure.
