TSA Begins Training For Israeli-Like Questioning

ARLINGTON, Va.  (WUSA)  -- At airport security checkpoints across the country, Americans are used to taking off their shoes, going through body scanners and even submitting to embarrassing body pat downs. But, now, they may face a round of questions... similar to the procedures in Israel.

"The Israeli approach is a smart approach," said Ray Leone after he just landed at Reagan National Airport from Maine.  Like many, Leone is applauding the new training going on at Boston's Logan International Airport. The two-month pilot program will be put into action at one checkpoint at Logan on August 15th.

They could save loads of time and money by just forbiding any people from flying that look like Arabs, or are from terrorist countries. Racial profiling, yup, you betcha, but we are at war and the terrorists have launched a war on our way of life.
This would cut down on a lot of terrorists, but you still have the "Home Grown" ones, like Obama supporters.

They would spend MORE time and money fighting the lawsuits and demonstrations with your suggestion.

They are finally heading in better direction using these new techniques.

Great that is all we need...the TSA thinking that they are the Israeli Army.

Seriously, every screams that they want more sucurity,and when they get in the form of pat downs, body scanners they start crying. Imagine the parents who starts screaming when THEY feel the TSA is asking their child the wrong types of questions.

If the pat downs etc bother you, don't fly. Get over yourselves.
