Israel's Airline Security Success

No x-ray. No Groping. The U.S. needs to be looking at the Israeli System.

Israel has what security experts say is perhaps the world's most effective system of screening air passengers. Despite constant threats from Palestinian terrorist groups, no flight from Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport has ever been blown up or hijacked, and the airport has not been attacked since the early 1970s. This success is due to a sophisticated system that combines intelligence reporting, profiling, and state-of-the-art technology for detecting weapons and explosives. VOA correspondent Luis Ramirez reports from Tel Aviv.
