That was a former El Al security expert wasn’t it?

"That was a former El Al security expert wasn’t it?"

Yes. He said he respected Islam and didn't think Muslim men would allow their wives bodies to be perused by someone else.

Yes.

Yes, it was a former El Al security expert, and everything up to that point (the body scanner question)...he was spot on and most of us, if not all, would have agreed with him down the line.

But he was vehement (unusally so, imo) when they asked the 'body scanner' question????--and the El Al guy brought up the issue of Muslims not allowing it as it would be a perversion to their women.

Perhaps I'm naive, but why would a 'former El Al security expert' ....have any hesitancy about body scanners, knowing full well Muslims have no qualms about secreting weapons to use on them, on us and on anyone they hate??

It was a stark departure from the previous tone of the interview?
