If you think you can help someone who will at first chance throw you to the wolfs have at it ,she couldn't keep illegals out her state as governor and she won't keep terrorists out of airports

all those European nations which currently despise us and want to boycott our goods or arrest our governmental representatives or else allow their newspapers to print malicious and erroneous items about us will come us, hat in hand, with questions about how to develop decent airport security and how to develop methods to catch terrorist infiltrators in their own midsts.

All the nations,the Europeans,the US especially which came against Israel and sided with the Islamic terrorist inventors of the suicide belt Palestinians are now tasting the fruit of their work. You can't help the US from what God is sending her way.He has made our leaders idiots who import these Islamic terrorists in by the thousands. He makes nations great, and He destroys them; He enlarges nations [and then straitens and shrinks them again], and leads them [away captive]. He takes away understanding from the leaders of the people of the land and of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no path. They grope in the dark without light, and He makes them to stagger and wander like a drunken man.Job 12

it is quite simple and no one needs to be a genius to figure the "how to" secure their airport or country. the answer is: start profiling asap, especially mid east tourists without feelings of pc or guilt start having what jews call chutzpah. it helps because it saves lives. the israelis are not interested in being nice at the checkpoints. they are into saving lives no matter how they conduct their security. if the liberal pc crowd blames the israeis for their "not nice methods", so be it. you are guaranteed to live after you board their airline and that is what should be your supreme need when flying. stop being too concerned about any offense to others or racial profiling. one can not afford to be nice to terrorists, let them bomb with impunity and then us saying that we "had no idea about that terrorist". start feeling sorry for yourself rather than those who are racially profiled because one of those may be your own killer. i traveled to europe and before the flight met an egyptian doctor that told me via conversation that he forgot where he graduated from because it was "such a long time ago". imagine that!!!!! he looked about 30 years old and not "senile" by any means. i went to the security at that airport and asked them to question him. after all, he was on my am flight back home. they refused by saying they do not profile people. i told them that i insist and that i would create a loud protest in front of everyone in line should they not take this individual for further questions. they finally agreed after much fighting with me. guess what!!! that individual was not on my flight at all. i checked and double checked every seat and i didn't see him on the plane. apparently something was indeed wrong with this individual maybe if all of us that travel aboard all planes did what i did, they would be alive today. nothing wrong with us being vigilant for our own sake and not letting the airport idiotic pc control our lives in the air. they are not taking the flight. we do! hameed aboughaze, iranian

The US has a history of security screw-ups wherein sensitive information was made public, followed by the inevitable "Oops!". A few years ago, it was a listing of all US nuclear facilities and storage sites. A few weeks ago, it was the TSA's airport screening manual, including its protocols, procedures and weaknesses. And let's not forget the guided tour provided by Homeland Security to representatives of Muslim organizations (most linked to the Muslim Brotherhood) of its airport security and screening procedures. Whatever procedures and protocols Israel provides the US will be undermined if made available to those trying to breach them.

The heathen have "God", Israel has Eloheim.

This most recent incident suddenly has people in this country referring to Israeli airport security as the "gold standard." I'm not sure why it took until now to come to that conclusion since this wasn't the first such terrorist act against an American airline, and the Israelis have been doing what they do for decades. But, regardless of the reason, we're now going to see those in charge of airport security in both the U.S. and abroad flocking to the Israeli experts for help. And, having said that, it's important that the Israelis make it clear that what they do isn't a matter of racial or ethnic profiling. Because had that been the case, they never would have intercepted that young pregnant Irish girl whose Palestinian boyfriend put her on an El Al flight to Israel carrying a tape recorder wired with explosives (unbeknownst to her) under the pretense that he was sending her to meet his parents.

We in the US already know how to profile, and how to discriminate. We has just been reluctant to do that.

Some idiot sets his underwear on fire and Israel tries mightily to cash in. Since the events of 9/11, just about every cop in America has toured Israel's airport facilities (at US taxpayer expense), and 'shared' expertise with Israeli security officials. Yet the underwear bomber still slipped through. Some 'expertise.'

-if thats the one you are writing about-I booked from Rome to TA, for I think, the Wednesday ...But I was having a great time in Rome doing what the Romans do . So I re-booked for the Friday El Al flight-arriving towards evening and took a Sherut to Haifa as Shabbat was near.So I was not on that plane . To my suprise ,I saw on the Thursday on Rome Newspaper placards in the street about the attempt .I think 2 girls were involved Fortunately the only damage was that the bomb in the hold exploded upwards towads the cabin burning an elderly lady's stockings and leg s

But we don't need him to help. We need him to take over. When Osama Obama turns muslim terrorist loose from Gitmo, and gives them to Yemen, and then issues "diversity visas" to Yemeni nationals, guess what? That means Osama Obama is on the other side. That's right. Vacation taking, body surfing, boogie nights in the White House, Osama Obama is on the other side. That means he, and his ridiculous administration, are not Israel's friend at all.

I don't think it was the same incident. The one I had in mind involved a young Irish woman who, from what I recall, was traveling alone. Also, I was under the impression that she was stopped before she could even board the plane, but I might be mistaken about that. Also, I don't know what it was about her that tipped off the security people. Since she wasn't even aware of the fact that the tape recorder had been set to blow up, she wouldn't have exhibited the behavior of somebody who knew she was, in all likelihood, about to die.

Notice that BBSNews & Matty Groves have not posted on this thread. I wonder why ??

What tipped them off was - believe it or not - "profiling". Yes, they read her body language, and some of the things she said in answer to their questions just didn't sound right. This is what our security staff are trained to do and they did it well.

We want to help the US but to save time we are going to downgrade our own airport security. They want to end the questions & racial profiling and replace it with a biometric smart card. Sign up to this thing your given a smart card and you can go straight through no questions asked. All you do is swipe your card and away you go. What happens if a group like Al Quaida has plans for a major terror attack but visit Israel a few times in advance and sign up to this to make them seem like less of a security risk. When they come with the bomb no questions just swipe your card & go through. What about if a jew is recruited by a terrorist group and agrees to carry a bomb onto a plane. If he was questioned he might panic & security would know there was a problem and pull him out. If he just has to take his smart card and go through security then you don't have that back up of profiling. Passports can give you all the information that the biometric system can its just not hi-tec. What recently happened in the US and with post 9/11 airport security a man managed to get through all the technology based security checks and onto the plane and its only luck he failed. If the US airport security had questioned him they might have realized something was wrong and taken him away for further questioning & to be searched. Israel has always been famous and respected for its airport security especially when it comes to ELAL flights. Now when other countries are starting to realize that questioning is actually a good idea and they should adopt it Israel wants to drop it.

"If the US airport security had qestioned him......" He boarded the Detroit bound plane in Amsterdam, Holland not In USA.
