(Starting this thread as a separate conversation rather than hijack one about TSA security in the Off Topic Forum.)
Could the security measures at the Israeli airport of Ben Gurion be applied in the US? Would these techniques be practical and cost-effective or are there simply too many passengers and not enough time? Would civil liberties be trampled?
"What can we learn from Ben Gurion Airport in Israel to help push aviation security in the U.S. to the next level?
No airport in the world faces terrorist threats more serious than does Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, a focal point for a half-century of violence in the Middle East. Yet Ben Gurion has experienced no serious terrorist incidents for more than 30 years, leading some observers to rank the airport among the most secure in the world.
What can U.S. airports learn from the way Ben Gurion manages aviation security?
According to Raphael “Rafi” Ron, who served as director of security at Ben Gurion for five years, aviation security in the U.S. suffers from two shortcomings that Ben Gurion has dealt with and overcome. First, the U.S. has failed in its efforts to develop comprehensive layered security programs that protect airports in their entirety, from perimeter access roads to passenger checkpoints. Second, airport security directors in the U.S. have failed to come to terms with what Ron calls the human factor — the inescapable fact that terrorist attacks are carried out by people who can be found and stopped by an effective security methodology.
