This article is to bolster my comments on another thread when I was asked, in response to my tirades against the TSA security procedures, "What alternate plan can you give", and I suggested the Israeli model.
The reporter talks with Rafi Sela, who is the president of AR Challenges, a global transportation security consultancy. He's worked with the RCMP, the US Navy Seals and airports around the world.

Security in Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport as not been breached since 2002, when a passenger carried a handgun onto a flight in error.
How do they do this without taking naked pictures of the passengers or groping their genitals?
In our country, somehow it's more "politically correct" to grope the genitals of your children than it is to "profile" the prospective fliers.
Read this fine article if you'd like to know how airport security should work.
