Israeli Security Expert: U.S. Must Profile Passengers
 
As controversy swirls over the use of full-body scanners at U.S. airports, the former security director for Israel’s national airline says airline security in America is an “illusion” and the U.S. should profile passengers to ensure safety.Isaac Yeffet was security chief for El Al Israel Airlines, which requires every passenger to be interviewed by a well-trained agent before check-in. Agents then perform electronic body scans or searches only on those who arouse suspicions during the interview.

El Al is considered the most secure airline in the world, and has experienced only one hijacking in its history.

 Yeffet told CNSNews that American airlines should use “exactly the same system” as El Al.“Yes, profiling,” he said. “Every passenger has to be interviewed by security. We have to be polite. We know how to ask questions.” The U.S. Transportation Safety Administration “wants to tell me we now have security in this country — this is an illusion,” Yeffet said. "Technology in general can never replace a qualified and well-trained human being.”

The El Al approach is in sharp contrast to procedures in America, which call for body scanning every passenger, and patting them down if they opt out of the scan or if something suspicious shows up on the images.

Yeffet said it is unnecessary to search “innocent people,” and security should instead focus on determining if a passenger is suspicious by intensively interviewing them. “We at El Al have used the hand/body search for so many years, but we did it only to suspicious passengers that were interviewed by us.”

Opponents of adopting El Al’s security approach in the United States say it would violate passengers’ civil rights by allowing some to be more intensely scrutinized than others, CNSNews reported.But Yeffet says the pre-flight interviews have enabled El Al to identify “the right people that are trying to blow up an aircraft or commit suicide.”        -WND
 

 
I believe we have an historic opportunity to end this needless harassment at airports because of the groundswell of public opinion that is with us.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Americans this week the show would go on. She told us to endure the "inconvenience" and urged full compliance.

In other words, she doesn't get it. She has no clue as to the deep-seated resentment and anger Americans are feeling with regard to this program (w/ regard to our arrogant, overbearing government).

 Let's write her a postcard & inform her she is NOT the boss, we are.

What the fuck - over? 
  
You clowns act like this is all a big surprise!
"We the People..." told you all along "...do not spend like a bunch of drunken sailors...". There is a phrase for that kind of spending, which, even I, won't write here - but you know what it is.


...& chew on this asshole (“It’s time to lay it out on the table and let the American people start to chew on it,” said Alan K. Simpson). "We the People..." didn't want the drunken spending spree in the first fucking place & now - you arrogant fuck - have the temerity to say something like that? Somebody get a god-damn rope...!

"James Madison, the father of our Constitution, who 
explained in the Federalist Paper 45: 'The powers 
delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal
government are few and defined. Those which are to 
remain in the State governments are numerous and 
indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on 
external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and 
foreign commerce. ... The powers reserved to the 
several States will extend to all the objects which in 
the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives and
liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal
order, improvement and prosperity of the State.'"
