Post #46,293 by wharris2 7/21/02 2:04:58 PM Reply	El Al Israel has not had a single problem with hijackings since the 1970's. They profile extensively. They have an equivalent of air marshals on every flight. The U.S. could learn a lot from them, if we weren't so damn politically correct. Famous last RPG quotes: "I'll just shoot this fireball down the dungeon passageway..."

Israel has multiple check points along the roads leading to the airport. Think about what would happen if the US decided to block all traffic 2 miles from each airport and do a car by car check for suspicious individuals. And that does not even include UPS and Airborne and FedEx aircraft.

Of course you'll disagree. - (wharris2) - (7) - July 18, 2002, 06:50:24 PM EDT

Pretty much. :) - (Brandioch) - (6) - July 18, 2002, 09:53:12 PM EDT

Exactamente! We don't *want* to face things ever. - (Ashton) - (3) - July 19, 2002, 04:07:48 PM EDT

Can't we just put better procedures in place? - (mhuber) - July 21, 2002, 02:42:27 AM EDT

You see, Ash, that's the problem! - (jb4) - (1) - July 22, 2002, 02:09:07 PM EDT

And it kinda makes discussion superfluous. - (Ashton) - July 23, 2002, 12:14:18 AM EDT

Are you just NOW getting to this? - (Simon_Jester) - (6) - July 19, 2002, 10:00:10 AM EDT

"Irregardless" is not a word. It's "Regardless". - (mmoffitt) - (5) - July 19, 2002, 12:37:19 PM EDT

Oooh! A nit war! :-) It's in dictionary.com - (Another Scott) - July 19, 2002, 01:09:00 PM EDT

Huh? - (mmoffitt) - (1) - July 22, 2002, 07:59:44 PM EDT

That ain't 'murder', just a bit of battery. - (Ashton) - July 23, 2002, 12:23:23 AM EDT

Burns my butt also, sir Moffit -NT - (wharris2) - July 20, 2002, 12:51:17 AM EDT
