The amendment places a clear and reasonable burden of proof on the applicant, who must demonstrate either that the costs are unreasonable or that the security measures would not reduce the terrorist threat. This would ensure that waivers are granted judiciously and only when justified by evidence. Moreover, by involving the Secretary of State or the Security Industry Authority, the amendment ensures that waiver decisions are made by those with the appropriate expertise and accountability. This provides a safeguard against abuse while maintaining the flexibility needed to adapt to different circumstances.
