The Israelis use the most effective form of airport security possible: profiling with a healthy dose of common sense.
All one need do is use body cavities, or several on the same jet do the same, and you beat the system-—easy. They know it. Heck, terrorists even did that during an assassination attempt in Saudi a few years back: body cavity explosives.
So, when a terrorist uses the body cavity technique, we better all get ready fore the ol drop-your-trousers and bend over prison exam.
This is insanity.
Recently, the Metro (subway) in DC was the target of a plot to blow up some trains. More people would be killed during that sort of attack (during rush hour). . .than any aircraft (other than an Airbus 380). Our response, occasional random bag checks.
If TSA and DHS were serious about security, they would install airport-style hardware and procedures at the entrance of every subway. Why don't they? They know it is ineffective and be more of a hassle for the public. The subway traveling public would not stand for it. Why do the public put up with this insanity at the airport? Because they are too ignorant to see the ineffective kabuki dance that it is. I can't tell you how many times I have stood in the airport security line and listened to some once-a-year traveler prattle on about how wonderful the security measures are and how much safer they FEEL.
Argh. . . .rant off.
Doesn’t an Obama flunky manufacture the scanning machines.
America: BAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa
You just need to follow the money to find out who is profiting from the sale of the scanners. I’m sure it will lead to big DNC donors.
Big Sis and the administration would rather reward their supporters and follow the PC route by groping the public’s breasts and testicles than go after the most likely terrorism candidates.
As other posters have pointed out, the best way to fight against these stupid machines is for everyone to dress like Osama Bin Laden when we fly.
Two chief differences between TSA and Isaeli airport security.
First and most important, they use Professional security/military people in their screening area vs TSA (HS dropout or unemployable moron)
The second is they are trained to look for deception.
The fastest way out of Israel is to try and outwit a security officer. Your visa will be revoked and you will be immediately deported.
bttt
BECAUSE IT IS THE FLIPPING BRAIN OF THESE IDIOTS THAT ARE DANGEROUS!!!!!
Sheesh! It’s almost like the TSA is staffed by absolute idiots!
Oh, wait...
