Vikingvill.

I would love to see ElAl security and so would everybody else, but there are a few problems.

1. Take AA as an example. They have almost 900 jets with 2800 flights a day. With Elal security that would have to be reduced substantially.

2. El Al relies heavily on profiling, which I agree with, but it is illegal in the U.S. and in alot of other countrys. I think your bunch saw to that. I saw an interview with Norman Minetta were he said that security people can not treat a granmother from Pasadena any differently han they can treat an Arab male. That may be politicaly expediant but is utterly moronic in this case.

If we want good security laws will have to change, attitudes will have to change, and the way we do cost benefit analysis in business will have to change. Lastly we need to completely tear down an rebuild the most incompetent and inept orginization ever put on this earth. The FAA. They don't call it the Tombstone agency for nothing!
