1. USA /TSA Weapons search.
Pat downs / Xrays
2. Israel behavioral profiling
Passengers are asked to report three hours before departure. All El Al terminals around the world are closely monitored for security. There are plain-clothes agents and fully armed police or military personnel who patrol the premises for explosives, suspicious behavior, and other threats. Inside the terminal, passengers and their baggage are checked by a trained team. El Al security procedures require that all passengers be interviewed individually prior to boarding, allowing El Al staff to identify possible security threats. Passengers will be asked questions about where they are coming from, the reason for their trip, their job or occupation, and whether they have packed their bags themselves. The likelihood of potential terrorists remaining calm under such questioning is believed to be low (see microexpression).[38]
At the check-in counter, passengers' passports and tickets are closely examined. A ticket without a sticker from the security checkers will not be accepted. At passport control passengers' names are checked against information from the FBI, Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Scotland Yard, Shin Bet, and Interpol databases. Luggage is screened and sometimes hand searched. In addition, bags are put through a decompression chamber simulating pressures during flight that could trigger explosives.[39] El Al is the only airline in the world that passes all luggage through such a chamber.[40] Even at overseas airports, El Al security agents conduct all luggage searches personally, even if they are supervised by government or private security firms.[41]
El Al - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An ElAl screener will pay close attention to a variety of inputs, some of which are listed below for reference:
* race and nationally
* use of language - local or foreign
* speech patterns
* is the accent true or fake
* tone and voice pitch
* the way and behavioral manners questions are answered
* use of slang – is it up to date, older, foreign; does it fit the age and declared profession
* hair style, scars and tattoos
* clothing, shoes and accessories
* type of luggage, how many pieces – does it fit the pattern
* do the clothes and personal items in the suitcase match the type and clothing the person is wearing
* does the passenger’s profession and the reasons of taking the flight match the other details
* mood and body language
* skin complexion as compared to the other findings
* sweating heavily in the air-conditioned hall
* does information about the destination fit the reasons of taking the flight
We could learn a lot from airport security from El Al.
Global Politician - TSA and Aviation Security: What is wrong with their concepts and strategy – Part Two
And we'll start right after a U.S. plane is blown up midair.
Borovich estimated El Al's security bill at $100 million a year, which amounts to $76.92 per trip by its 1.3 million passengers. Half is paid by the Israeli government.
By contrast, the TSA spent $4.58 billion on aviation security, or just $6.21 per trip by 737 million passengers, in fiscal 2005.
Not really sure how to respond to the poll, since I'm not sure what it's asking. Is it asking which is a better system? Or which should the US use? Or what?
I would argue that the Israeli model is probably more effective, but I doubt it would work well for the US's huge overcrowded airports.
Why are so many people in support of allowing us to become a police state? Where the government can violate you in these ways?
Some people would rather be horribly violated than face low probability events.
I favor a security system that relies on the decision of the Airport/Airline without government backing
You do know we are not talking about some cab/bus company where if you don't like one you can always go with the down street.
We are talking about airports that takes sometimes years to plan and build and take up square miles of land.
We are talking about places where flying bombs take off every minute and fly over dense population centers.
and you want to leave security systems to company like SouthWest Air which is nothing more than a flying bus company.

I'm of the belief that 9/11 could have been very easily prevented had they just not allowed knives on planes. I don't think we need all that much more than not allowing people to get on planes with weapons.
The harder it is for people to get weapons into a place, the more power weapons give to people who manage to smuggle them in somehow. Put a couple of armed agents on every flight and the problem disappears entirely.
