To put it in perspective, I've flown through Ben Gurion, which is arguably the safest airport in the world, and I've never been patted down. I've looked at, chatted up and questioned. And all of my luggage has ALWAYS been looked through. When over 50% of luggage and cargo is bnot even screened, what good is the naked picture and pat down?

Israel has proved what is required for real security. Unfortunately, the number of staff and level of training required means that you can't have a small number of morons around a single point. That costs money, and will never be implemented until Americans are willing to give up the $99 NY to LA round trip.
