You can Google security procedures at Ben Gurion Airport, if you like and you will find some info on their far superior security protocols than what we employ. I don't think it would be administered exactly the same here, but if you wanted something done right you go to the best, and that they are.

You are a sincere person but I am just trying to say that there aren't easy answers to this very frightening situation. Many people must fly to continue working, just as Katezbox and JoJo do. There are sick people who may view an airplane as a way of suicide and revenge. There is a whole bunch of people who have already used airplanes to slaughter thousands of Americans. Americans who drive trucks and perform surgery and have little six year old daughters aren't safe to travel by air unless we have something in place. It may not be the best something, but we can't just read and hear what commentators have to say, we have to think for ourselves.

It isn't as bad as it could be. It isn't as good as it could be. Neither is cancer treatment, but we can't just not do something. I really do NOT think that woman who was giving that child a physical search was at ALL sexually motivated. I think she could have been showing her authority or she had her orders wrong. OR maybe they do searches like that sporadically to show that searches like that are done...

It isn't right and it isn't pretty.
