  • Scince Friday had a podcast with the former head of security at Ben Gurion Airport (and if there's anyone who should know about security it would be him) He put relatively little hope in technology alone, but put most of his effort in having highly trained, motivated, intelligent screeners who could do behaviorial profiling.

    Their were several interesting cases he discussed, but most particularly he stressed not to use ethnic profiling--the terrorsts often didn't fit the expected mold.

    He made the point that X-Ray devices had never detected a single weapon or bomb that a terrorist had been trying to smuggle on board. Never.
