Israeli Airports Authority: BGA is best-protected airport in world

An Israeli airport official says screening procedures at airports around the world are inadequate. Nahum Liss of the Israeli Airports Authority called Israel's heavily fortified international airport the best protected in the world. Israeli procedures are often copied elsewhere.

His comments Tuesday came as authorities were investigating cargo bombs intercepted at airports in Britain and Dubai. Liss said security procedures at Israel's Airport "are built in order to confront these kind of threats." (AP)
