"The Isrealis conduct an extensive interview one on one with every passenger. You are asked about your travelling companion (your answers are compared to theirs), your recent local itenerary (will be verified somehow), your reaction to 'stimulus questions' will be observed, your appearance and body language will be rated, your passport will be examined for previous travel, and the sum total of all of this is given a score. This is also done for aircrew. If you are on EL AL, it doesn't take much to get booted. There are 3 or 4 booted from every flight. Every flight. If you are from certain countries, or have visited certain countries, or even look like you are from certain countries, you are booted.

Hard to argue with success. Yes, profiling works. Not PC, but it works. Imagine it? It's coming."


I don't think our enemies could possibly make it any easier for us to spot them, could they? All the terrorists are Muslims and look like Muslims. So let's have 2 lines for the security check: 1 for Muslim-looking people and one for everybody else. All Muslims will go thru the Isreali procedure and .... oh wait, that would be discrimination. We wouldn't want to hurt anybody's feelings!
