At least several people have said that the US should use the Israeli model of screening passengers for airline flights. It is my understanding that the Israeli model uses background checks, extensive questioning of passengers and profiling. This all takes manpower. Israel as I understand it has two airports with commercial airline service with an average total of 50 flights per day. Most conservatives want to limit the number federal employees. It appears that using the Israeli method would add probably 100s of thousand employees to do the job. Last year the Atlanta airport alone averaged 2,658 flights per day. Are you all willing to add that many more federal employees?
