VideoBite: How Israel conducts airport security


A short, excellent Wall Street Journal video detailing the practices of Israeli airport security


Aviation Security System More Like Israel's? -Kip Hawley

[T]he key ingredient of Israeli security is not that their technology or staffers are better. It's not profiling or having just one international airport. It is willpower.

Israelis as a nation have coalesced around the fact that they are in a deadly conflict that extends to their everyday activities, such as traveling.

[U]nflinching determination and take-the-offensive mentalities are hallmarks of Israel's reaction.
The writer was head of the U.S. Transportation Security Administration from 2005 to 2009.
