What Can Israel Teach the U.S. About Airport Security?

PajamasMedia "Luggage is X-rayed before check-in. Suspicious items are put in blast-proof containers and moved away to a safe area. The airport doesn’t shut down over a suspicious object. – Only then comes the walk through the X-ray machine (with your shoes on) and the check of your hand luggage. Yes, they are checking out your bags, but again, they are mainly checking you out. Nobody cares about your bottle of water, baby formula, moisturizer, nail scissors, or tweezers."...."Atlantic journalist/blogger Jeffrey Goldberg, who has flown in and out of Israel frequently, doesn’t believe it will ever work in the United States..."Related: In Defense of Profiling "... discriminate means "to see or note a difference; (to) make a distinction.""
