Yup. I just don't understand why our airlines don't take up El Al's lead. In 1996 I had to change planes at the Munich, Germany airport. Military police everywhere, just as a matter of routine, all armed with HKSMG. Sure made me behave :-)

Like you wouldn't have behaved!
I know just what you mean. I have a photograph of thousands of suitcases sitting in a common area waiting for customs inspections after debarkation from a cruise ship. The very thought of so much luggage entering a ship without being individually inspected would now keep me from taking a cruise again. Just because it's gone through airline security means nothing. The luggage does not go directly from the plane to the ship and neither do the passengers.
