      My issue with pushing potential danger away from the aeroplane is that is moves the danger into a larger crowd of people. The queue before security. Can't get past security? No problem. Blow yourself up in the line instead.

      Ones religious preference is not a security factor. In Israel it is socially impolite to ask outright "what is your religion".
      In Israel we have large minorities of Arab Christians, Arab Muslim, Druze, Bedouin Muslim. Many serve in the Israeli armed forces, army, police etc...so we don't really care if a tourist is Muslim or not.

      Israel's security is so good because they can use profiling. Profiling allows you to focus your security resources on the people you really need to keep an eye on. In the US granny's get strip searched because the TSA has to treat everybody equally.

    Its called a "safety ratchet" for a reason. It only goes one direction. No one looks good advocating for less safe things. So once a "safety" thing has been implemented, it is somewhat permanent. The only exception is when you get an opportunity to start over. "We're going to implement a brand new set of rules" is when they can choose to leave things out and hopefully safety advocates don't catch on.

    I live in Israel. I wanted to meet some friends in Germany.
    I'm male.
    I traveled alone
    I'm 19
    And I'm arab.
    They didn't even give me the interview and immediately slapped on a 6.
    I just found it funny that I checked every single requirement to be higher risk.
    Although, I do still find it slightly odd. I think the main reason for this high security was because of my Arab family name. I have light brown hair and European like light skin. I also speak Hebrew fluently without even a hint of a different accent.
    Fun fact, on the way back to Israel I spoke to the interviewer about gaming and mainly overwatch. It was a nice conversation but I still got high security risk... I felt betrayed.
    And lastly, there is a security clearance system in Israel to work certain jobs. So I think giving the airport that kind of info to affect direct family should cut down time for many people. Just a speculation idk if its actually a good idea.

It sets standards and recommended practices (SARPs) in order to foster safe international aviation. Each member country has its own regulating body which imposes its own aviation regulations, these regulations are based on ICAO's SARPs and can differ a bit to adapt to each country's needs. just noting that there is a difference between regulating and setting standards :)

I had no luggage, and bought my PSA ticket from a vending machine at the gate. They closed the door just after I got on, so we were airborne 30 minutes after I decided to go visit him. The flight was very cheap, too - even as a student, it wasn't very expensive - I want to say $39. Within two hours of deciding to visit my dad, I was sitting in his living room.

I never hear white people or Christians come out and say racially profile white male students because they're a higher risk to commit a school shooting. Most hate groups in America consist of white male extremely conservative and extremely religious (Christianity) people. The most notorious hate group, the KKK, feature a cross on their clothing. Maybe the Middle East and all of Africa should start profiling those people in their airports. You over look the terrorism and dangerous groups in your country and only focus on the muslim minority. Shameful....

      Years ago I stumbled across a video clip from an unknown source, titled “passport control,” which seemed to be from an Israeli comedy show something like SNL in the US. Apparently, Israelis don’t take ALL of their security procedures seriously, and I got a chuckle from it.
      In the skit, a young woman in uniform was screening passengers, and a clean cut young man presented his passport. The agent looked at him and the passport, shook her head, and said “Lo” (the only Hebrew words I know which were used in the skit are “lo” and “ken”). The man motioned for her to wait, pulled out a kafiyeh (Arab headdress) and put it on; she still said “lo.” He pulled a false beard out of his bag and put it on; still “lo.” Then he held up an AK-47 and posed with it, making a “victory” sign with his free hand. Finally, with the man looking exactly like a Palestinian fighter, she smiled, nodded, said “Ken,” then stamped and returned his passport!
      If any Israeli citizens recognize the skit and know the names of the actors, the name of the show, or the year it aired on Israeli TV, please reply here.
      Oh, and congratulations to your newest Hollywood Star, Gal Gadot!

It's (sadly) not only something nearly anyone can do, it's also at lesser risk of discovery (before it happens) and in the long run just as - if not more - effective.

    Airport security might not be able to detect dangerous items, but it may discourage people from bringing them. The fear of getting caught and sent to jail might make people think twice about what they pack. It might also force terrorists to think of different ways to sneak past security, slowing down their attacks.

      Yet in the mid 90's nobody batted an eyelid even going through security with them.
      Anyway, all things have consequences many of which aren't immediately obvious.
      It's counter-intuitive, but essentially correct; Increased airport security may indeed be increasing the death rate overall.
      Makes aircraft (marginally) safer, but it makes travel in general less safe.

    When me and my family wanted to fly home from Fuerteventura, Spain, we had to wait a long time at check in. Everybody just placed their bags in line instead of standing there themselves (it was early in the morning). When check in began, most people got back to their bags to stand in line and eventually check in. There was one piece of luggage left alone but we saw a family with a baby running of to the bathroom because their little one had a blow out. The luggage belonged to them, obviously. Some of the other passengers did not notice that and told the worker at the check in desk. Within seconds (like maybe 10-15) fully armed guards arrived and tried to evacuate the area. Luckily the family came back very shortly after and was asked to join security. They were on the same plane afterwards so everything was fine but it was kinda surprising to me how fast airport security was!

It makes sense that I didn't always get 1. I always get nervous in airports.
    That thing about arriving 3 hours early? Absolutely true. Even now that I no longer live in Israel, I can't help but arrive at airports 3 hours early. And I keep on getting shocked by how quickly I get to check in (because I'm used to Israeli security standards, not Australian security).
