2 checkpoints to pass would stop them for sure....But it should be realised fast !
2. Wheels ????

"The guard fired four shots at the truck's wheels which stopped just 200 meters shy of the entrance to terminal 3." What kind of wards are that ? firering at wheels ? You can with flat tires under certain conditions continue driving to cover a sufficient distance. you need to maintain lines of dragon's teeth in certain strategic areas.maybe movable teeth positioned at roadsides and entrances at strategic locations, which are to be lifted and placed on the roads. remember The Beirut Barracks Bombings (October 23, 1983 in Beirut, Lebanon) occurred during the Lebanese Civil War, when two truck bombs struck separate buildings housing United States and French military forces—members of the Multinational Force (MNF) in Lebanon—killing 299 American and French servicemen.The Beirut Barracks Bombings (October 23, 1983 in Beirut, Lebanon) occurred during the Lebanese Civil War, when two truck bombs struck separate buildings housing United States and French military forces—members of the Multinational Force (MNF) in Lebanon—killing 299 American and French servicemen.

Well, that's a basic problem of the Arabs, especially the Palestinian ones, they always take the wrong turn!
4. Ladies & Gentlemen of Security: U passed but barely!

The infiltrators got within 200 meters of terminal 3! WTF! the road between the first checkpoint and Terminal 3 is long enough...along the way there are a few other things we need to protect. Ladies & Gentlemen of the Airport Security detail...you passed the test barely...snap it up, shine it up, fix the security holes and lets keep Ben-Gurion the safest airport in the world. Happy new year. Now get to work!

Olf Texas Dougma... "Do NOT try to teach your Savtah how to suck eggs" I get tje impression that Israel is doing a pretty freaking good job of shooting what needs to be shot. And a Shanah Tova to one and all. (Except the bad guys. Near, far and elected)
6. Glad you got them!!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (09.03.13)
One for Israel !! KEEP BUILDING !!!
7. No4 that's what you think
(09.03.13)
I once left a small packet in a trash bin in the duty free area (old shoes in a box after I got myself a new pair in the terminal) and no one didn't even check if what I put was dangerous (it could have been) but the show must go on
8. they were probably using apple maps

They were probably rushing because they have got wives who insist they are home for dinner on time or they give them a punishment beating. The men thought they were on their way home but they were using the infamous apple maps so they ended up at the airport. They should sue Apple because had it not been for apple maps being so useless they would not be in a jail cell.

Let me explain to you that the reason for shooting the wheels first is possibility of explosives on the truck and bullets may detonate them. Second reason may be that there is a few additional trucks and drivers, at this moment, worth more alive than dead.
10. if you ask me....
les ,   canada   (09.03.13)
this was an object failure of security. they should not have been able to breach the first line of security, let alone the second one. if they had a few hundred kg of explosives.....

They took a wrong turn in 1917 by rejecting the Balfour Decleration which would not even have created a Jewish state. They too a wrong turn in 1948 when they rejected partition could have had a state thats twice the size of the land that Israel captured in 1967. They took a wrong turn at Camp David They took a wrong turn by starting the intifada. They took a wrong turn by turning Gaza into the NASA of the Middle East using it as a rocket launch pad instead of a small example of what a state could look like on a larger scale. Abbas took a wrong turn by not making the most of Obama during his first term when he was an idealist, hated Israel and was desperate to please muslims. If the US had ever been in a position to deliver him a state it was then instead Abbas made excuse after excuse to avoid even talking. The palestinians themselves are a wrong turn, maybe they are a step in the evolutionary chain that went wrong.
12. major faschla
