Airport security for dummies (Humor, sort of)

The Perfect Alternative To Full-Body Scanners

Airport security is, and will continue to be, a never ending cat and mouse game between law enforcement, the federal government and the terrorists whose goal it is to kill innocent men, women and children. While trying to inflict physical damage, the terrorists goal is to cause as much psychological damage as well in an effort to try and disrupt our free society.

We have to be effective in stopping them 100% of the time while they only have to succeed once, so that our search techniques have to be as close to infallible as possible. The current methodology is certainly anything but that.

Airport Screening Technique Leaving No Margin For Error

From an unknown source, this screening method of passengers seems to be a no brainer, supposedly being developed by a country that knows a little something about security:

"The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners at the airports.

It's a booth you step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you. They see this as a win-win for everyone, with none of this crap about racial profiling. It also would eliminate the costs of a long and expensive trial. Justice would be swift. Case closed!

You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system . . . "Attention standby passengers - we now have a seat available on flight number XXXX. Shalom!" (Israel Matzav)

Case Closed!
