El Al only conducts thorough searches of people who rouse their suspicion. ..which is very few people, percentage-wise. Unlike the TSA, they profile passengers -- psycholigcally, religiously, ideologically, ethnically, etc. Evidently this leftist prof (who spent her childhood all over the Muslim Middle East) somehow triggered their suspicion. Sure they make a mistake from time to time, but that's the nature of the war.
Citation, please.
I assume you'll extend the same courtesy to the TSA officers who face far more passengers?
I'm not dissing the El Al security...I'm just suggesting that there's a lot of hypocrisy being shown by many these days.
I posted the Ma'an version rather than another because it didn't mention El Al in the headline, and I wanted people to have the opportunity to stop and ask themselves if their initial reaction was different before reading it was El Al.
