Israel has equal, if not more, security threats than America does at airports. Rafi Sela, former chief security officer of the Israel Airport Authority and with more than thirty years of experience, recently stated that body scanning machines are “useless,” which is why they are not in Israeli airports. Mr. Sela advocates the two security systems that are used in the airports in Israel: behavior profiling rather than “randomly selected” searches. And a “trusted traveler” system where pre-approved low-risk passengers go through an expedited process, and passengers with more risk are exposed to more security screenings.

I got through very quickly. Even with my big heavy backpack. But I wasn’t on their “trusted” list, at least not the way I think you mean it. I just passed their behavioral profile.

I have never been on el Al but it seems to me that they would have to run a somewhat different operation at foreign airports than they do in Israel.
