#2 Sigh... what is stopping this country from adopting the labor-heavy, tech-light, intelligent approach used by the Israelis, who simply ask each traveler a few basic questions and scrutinize their facial and body language intently as they respond? ie Why do you have no luggage for a one-way flight, sir / why are you so nervous / so you're an architect, OK, who was Le Corbusier? etc

The cost, while considerable, of maybe 100,000 well-trained college graduate screeners would still be far less than the billions p!ssed away by Homeland Security on Beltway Bandits and useless technologies each year.
