We (America) needs to implement racial profiling.
Israel knows how to do this right, but we cannot possibly implement their security approach at airports so long as political correctness and legalistic b.s. prevail.
One cannot give special scrutiny to “profiles” of likely terrorists under the current politically correct regime — we have to pretend that EVERYONE might be a terrorist and then inconvenience everyone, without even a hint of common sense.
If they were serious:
1. They’d stop looking so much for weapons and start looking for terrorists.
2. The security lines in the USA are very vulnerable. Me, I’d set some bombs off while waiting in line, and have another set of much-larger bombs go off in a pinched section 20 seconds later as the crowd rushes away, and another 60 seconds after that somewhere else.
EDITORIAL: Obama’s hand in your crotch
White House denial of Islamic threat to blame for TSA groping
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/nov/15/obamas-hand-in-your-crotch/
when a TSA worker asks to examine your private parts, don’t blame the terrorists, blame an administration that refuses to admit that America is at war with Islamic radicalism.

My daughter was quizzed by the El Al official before being allowed into the boarding area. There is no way a terrorist could have passed that quizzing. The questions were about religion, culture, education, family background, knowledge of Israel, etc. I’m quite sure the Muslim Bomber would have failed every single time.
That's the process — six layers, four hard, two soft. The goal at Ben-Gurion is to move fliers from the parking lot to the airport lounge in a maximum of 25 minutes.
Mr. Sela pointed out something profound. It should be obvious, but it is profound to the bureaucratic mindset which staffs the TSA. Sleep apnea machine, laptop computer or more than 3 ounces of liquid, they will catch every time because they are trained to follow theatrical procedures. But they won't look Mohammad in the eye or look for suspicious behavior because that's profiling and could result in a lawsuit.
“Israelification” = profile those who commit terrorism
But the government purchased 1 BILLION dollars worth of these scanners and the CEO accompanied Barry on the Asian debacle, plus Soros had an interest in the scanner company, so how could we possibly use a cheaper and more efficient,plus safer sysyrm for our security?
Just askin’.
I thought Heathrow 1991 had much better security than Logan 2005. And the Brits, God love ‘em, did it with good humor and cheerfulness completely lacking in the dolts over at TSA.
TSA bookmark.
While I wholeheartedly advocate the Israeli security method, I wonder if it could be implemented with the crush of travelers at an airport such as O’Hare, Hartsfield, Kennedy.
I don’t plan to fly another time in my life, but I know there are millions who have to fly because of their occupation. Why can’t the TSA give people the opportunity to go through a security clearance, be fingerprinted and have on hand at every airport a fingerprint scanner for those who have been cleared. If the system kicks out a fingerprint, then maybe a search would be warranted. There is no reason people who have to fly all the time should have to go through all this c—p every time they get on a plane.
“That is, how can we make our airports more like Israel’s, which deal with far greater terror threat with far less inconvenience. “
Isreal’s system tries to stop TERRORISTS.
Our system, in the word of Nepalitano, is to stop ‘unauthorized’ gels, powders and other products - even in the hands of innocents american citizens - from being on planes.
This is liberalism run amok. According to liberals, People dont cause terrorism, inanimate objects cause it, so we ban all manner of objects. It’s as stupid as gun control.
Meanwhile, we fail to profile for the terrorists, so grannies are felt up and harrassed while terrorists are ignored.
We need to allow all of these inanimate items. Stop the bans.
Check for security of people.
Anyone should be able to get an “EZ pass” if they are a lawabiding citizen in good standing without a record.
Pilots, frequent flyers would get them and use them. everyone wins.
If no “EZ pass” then you get the pat-down.
and for good measure allow concealed carry on planes (!).
I like the idea of ‘bomb boxes’ that would be big enough to put the suspect in while the bomb squad determines if it is a bomb with the probing and possible detonation.
Might make even more of a deterrent
In 1972, before Israel implemented its new security procedures, there was such such an attack at Lod (Now Ben Gurion) airport. Three Japanese Red Army terrorists opened fire and massacred 26 people and injured 80 others.
TSA employees have nowhere near the IQ to establish an Israeli security system. Heck the brain power of the US government has created security where they have muslims molesting nuns at the gate and perverts sticking their hands in the croches of children. Our government workers are too stupid to have any power over anyone or anything.
