What I'm hoping (but not expecting) is that security will be modeled after El Al's security (the Israeli airline.) Their people are privately trained and partly governmentally supervised. They are trained the psychology of fear and of spotting people who many cause problems. Their searches are very thorough, but in addition to the searches, they ask a ton of questions and then watch the responses. That might be very impractical here. I guess I'm depending upon the fact that the increased security right now will discourage any would-be terrorist from trying anything for now.

Well, do think it will discourage terrorists 'for now'; and most passengers ARE willing to pay that price, for now. . .
Given Bush's succumbing to Dems 'Federalizing' screeners; does not look like we will model after any successful program such as 'El Al' or learn from any of the Europeans either. . .no answers as to the 'why' of this. . .or why not even modifications of successful programs. . .
In the meantime, the vast majority of the flying American public are being tested for good-will and patience every day. . .
