Do you know why El Al is considered the safest airline to fly from the perspective of being the target of a terrorist attack? Because they don't waste time searching grandmothers, making people take off their shoes, and inspecting shampoo bottles. Instead, they have profilers and behavioral specialists wandering around the terminal observing and talking to people who look or act suspicious.

I hate this argument. It says that the most effective thing a terrorist can do is doctor granny's shampoo bottle while she's not looking.
It's nice to question Osama especially, but not if it means you get lazy and ignore everyone who is not he. When we show tendencies, we expose ourselves to be exploited.

I don't understand your reply to my response. Are you saying you don't agree with using resources for more intensive behavioral profiling rather than for a more superficial searching of everyone? Or are you saying that airlines should intensely search/interview everyone, so that the screening process should take even longer than it does now?
