Explosions at Brussels Airport

Espada is correct re. Israeli security screening:

"The answers are irrelevant, its the way the person behaves that gives the clue as to their intentions."

I worked in Israel for 12 months & underwent many pre-flight screenings at Ben Gurion.

After a couple of experiences, I realised the slightly farcical nature of what was being conducted - after being 'interrogated' & screened, it was possible to exit the terminal building for a cigarette, then wander (unscreened) back in. I could easily have collected my fusing devices etc from a waiting accomplice.

But that's not how the system works (& works *very* effectively).

It detects would-be perpetrators, not their weapons.
