It was my understanding that Israeli security is even worse...but the “Gas chamber” sounds like an explosive detector..

The Israeli's and the Europeans have far better security then we do. There, they 'interview' passengers by someone trained to detect something out of the ordinary (body language, nervousness, etc.). Then, if they suspect something, you are given a second interview and a much more intensive scrutiny. Most of the security people in the US are low paid and poorly trained.
