I agree that profiling passengers is the most sensible approach. It might appear discriminatory but what is the point of stopping people at random, search grandmothers etc when there is virtually no chance of them being a threat. It is just a fact of life (and intelligence) that terror threats will come from young adults of certain ethnic groups, and be usually male. It is here that limited resources should concentrate their efforts.
Absolutely agreed. The Israelis have this down. They know their enemy.

Some interesting stats
I’ve been hit by cars twice this year. Neither was driven by terrorists as far as I could tell.
Maybe it was ChrisD driving both times?
You should read how they set up their airports in Israel.They have blast zones right in the ticket line areas.That means they only have to move the people out of the line and let the explosives blow up.Then resume boarding the planes.
It is amazing how hard America ignore effective security measures.
Paying the price for political correctness.
Bah! – give me 2 pound of steel wool and I’ll knit you a pistol
An interesting problem for a belief system/movement in which their thinking is focused not on tomorrow’s events, but rather thinks in terms of centuries/eternity.
So now we’re focusing all our energies on safeguarding our front door – passenger and now cargo aircraft. All well and good. Except we can’t get security in trying to screen everybody to the same degree. While we’ve been distracted, they can be entering through the back door … infiltrating through unsecured borders or, better yet, recruit believers from within. Then, do nothing for years. And then unleash terror attacks we never expected, upon targets we never considered. Which, when you think about it, is how you induce terror. Imagine military checkpoints springing up around the country on Interstate highways, trying to contain the threat.
It’s a good thing that the people smart enough to figure these things out don’t actually venture out into the target areas. Instead they keep themselves hidden away in caves and remote areas of the Afgan/Pakistan border region, trying to remotely run their own private war.
