The Israelis use the most effective form of airport security possible: profiling with a healthy dose of common sense.
Both of which are forbidden by law in most western countries.
I cannot understand why we cannot profile a suspect because it might cause a loss of self respect, but it is okay to electronically undress me, as my right to privacy is outweighed by his rights. As a flight crew member for many years, I can assure you that profiling has gone on for decades. It worked then, and it works now. It’s the height of stupidity to force crew members to go through these searches, as they wouldn’t need explosives to destroy an aircraft.
“The Israelis use the most effective form of airport security possible: profiling with a healthy dose of common sense.”
AMEN!!!!!!!!
And there is NOTHING wrong with this! We should do the same.
They also follow the old west saying... "SHOOT FIRST.. ask questions later."
Never an ingredient in a bureaucratic recipe.
This would cause too many hurt “feelin’s” in America and we don’t want to do that.
“Feelin’s” is way more important than survival. We don’t want to “be dissing” anyone or hurting their “self-esteem”.
Somehow I just can’t picture the current TSA staff as effective profilers with common sense.
