The 'Israelification' of Airports: High Security, Little Bother →
“Even today with the heightened security in North America, they will check your items to death. But they will never look at you, at how you behave. They will never look into your eyes … and that’s how you figure out the bad guys from the good guys.”
It’s clear that the Israelis have an impressive track record on maintaining airport security without sacrificing efficiency, but I’m still somewhat uncomfortable with a set of security protocols based primarily on looking into passengers’ eyes to see if they look shifty, nervous, or guilty.
