Sturmgewehre(Military Arms Channel on YouTube) recently traveled to Tel Aviv to meet up with the guys from Israel Weapon Industries and tour their production facilities. This is an account of his experience at Ben Gurion airport.

"a security guard at the airport in Tel Aviv you must have prior military experience."

That will never work here in the US. It is discriminatory donchano. Got to have a few unemployed, people of color, a few thugs, a sprinkling of white guys, of course women, etc. Then again, almost everybody in Israel has military service. Umm what a concept.

Interesting. What percentage of the security personnel were women?

Since almost everyone has to serve between 2 and 3 years in the military there it shouldn’t be hard to find employees.

Those type of questions, should they be asked in the United States, would not be for the safety and security of the travelers; but rather, to weed out the conservatives from the liberals - all answers certainly being stored in a White House database and forwarded to the friendly I.R.S. agents waiting to serve.

No thanks, if I can’t drive to my destination - I’m not going.

Best airport security personnel I've encountered were, without question, either the Israeli, or former Rhodesians and South Africans, or French Legionnaires in the airports of some Francophone African nations. People who spent their formative years on the perimeter. Nothing like the mouth breathing, abusive bureaucrats of our own TSA.
