Islamic terrorists have been taught to believe that heaven and frisky virgins await them for dying in their unholy actions.
Courage has NOTHING to do with it.
The solution?
These so-called super-fighters have a Kryptonite vulnerability, an Achilles Heel.
They will fight like beasts for martyrdom, but martyrdom will be DENIED if...
...they are contaminated with the blood and flesh of the swine.
Every US military agent must be known to coat their bullets and missiles with pig blood & guts.
Every terrorist killed in the entire world must be known to await burial in pigsh*t.
Every pilot, flight attendant, passenger should carry pepper-like pork spray to coat a would-be suicide skyjacker. Without paradise, why die?
At every airline gate, each passenger must be required to eat a meal of BACON before being allowed to board any airplane.
You refuse - you don't board! Simpler and more cost-effective than expensive, less-than-foolproof security devices - and sure to smoke out the potential terrorist every time.
Use their own beloved Koran, the source of their strength, against them, and this is OVER!

I don't think forcing people to eat something against their religion would fly in our culture as a screening tool in our so called free society. But a lot of your ideas sound pretty workable to me!
I do think, however, that many of them would be rabid enough to even die and risk hell in behalf of their loved ones. Far fewer, to be sure, but probably some.
And, I don't think the plane thing is by any means the sum total of their strategies and methods. I think it's but one of many. The other doc I recently posted cited a conviction that they were going to use chemical warfare soonish or maybe next or some such. I've certainly expected that a long time. . . as well as biological . . . and within less than 8 and probably less than 5 years--probably atomic on several U.S. cities.
Given the extremes they are going to go to, it would take some real powerful Koran stuff to deter them. Most people of that ilk just rationalize it differently under a different set of verses. Kind of like, don't bother confusing them with facts, their minds are self-destructively and other destructively made up. They have a fantasy of earned heaven and little is going to dissuade them of their fantasy.
It's a bit of human nature gone amuck. Most of us think we've earned lot of bennies, rewards, grace, etc. while the others--the schmucks in the world deserve far less. Rabid religionists seem to take that thread of human arrogance to galactic proportions well beyond delusions of grandeur. Once they do, I'm not sure how many even facts even from their own 'bible' would adjust their reality constructions much.
Mmmmmm! That's almost enough to persuade me to set foot on an airliner again. :) But still, I think I'll use Amtrack for any future travel needs.
I think that you are forgetting our Jewish brothers and sisters that keep kosher. This would be a terrible affront to very patriotic Jewish American citizens.
