That sure looks like what the “Teasers” are trying to do. An uppity union anyhow.

I haven’t been on a plane since before this nonsense began in earnest. Patriotic patdowns! Is there a bridge too far here? I don’t believe Israel does this, and they face a lot more potential flight terrorists than the US does.

From what I undestand, Israel uses profiling instead and it works just fine for them.

Israel has ZERO terrorist incidents aboard airline flights, AND has NO invasive airport security; they NEVER touch you. Not once. Instead, you are met at about a half dozen checkpoints by polite, highly trained, screeners who look you dead in the eye and gauge your non-verbal response to innocuous questions about how your day is going, where you’re headed — doing what amounts to making casual small talk. Their track record is 99.99% flawless.

By contrast, our invasive airport security HUMILIATES hundreds of American citizens DAILY, nitpicking about nail files, and bottles of hand lotion, yet FAILS — REPEATEDLY — to find guns and other implements passed through checkpoints by security auditors.

Israel’s “hands off” system is an unprecedented success, while our hapless band of groping uniformed perverts not only have an embarrassing track record, but are so far over the line of propriety as to be on the verge of fomenting a national insurrection.
