What else to say about airport security, in this column, airport security has not been beaten, smashed and repeated more than 10 times.
It is very chagrin that in an era when security issues have become the core and soul of American consciousness, there is very little topic of anger at the bottom, and again, it is worthy of careful and repeated analysis.
Whether it's taking apart the folly of our troubled transport safety authority or taking action against reactionary fears --
Spreading Annie Jacobson, it's a dirty job and it needs to be tough without other requirements.
Isn't this a wonderful disclaimer? When I was sitting on the Jordan bus, ready to cross the border from Jordan into Israel at the allby bridge east of Jerusalem, I suddenly thought of this
At such a special starting point for geopolitical tensions, the topic is ripe for another trip.
Between the river of Galilee and the Dead Sea, the border between Jordan and Israel is formed by the things left by the ancient Jordan River.
In some places, from banks to banks, the winding, heavily polluted waterways are less than 3 m ---
Almost thin enough to connect with a pair of outstretched arms.
There is a depressing irony, and perhaps some sort of poetry, in which so much uneasiness is separated by a reed --clogged creek.
For American tourists, it may take more than two hours to cross this narrow dividing line.
It can take up to 12 hours if you unfortunately become a Palestinian.
When a guard stamped my passport and waved to me, I saw a large crowd of Arabs gathered in the waiting area nearby.
The soldiers rummaged through the boxes to find explosives.
The least public racial trait.
Crossing the bridge was an adventure, but I was most interested in the airport in Tel Aviv.
Americans have a way to make Israel's air safety a golden standard that we must strive to achieve.
The readers of this column certainly think so.
Our airports, letter writers have been urging, need to be more like airports in Israel, and our airlines are more like El Al, the country's indestructible national airline.
That is to say, shortly after Sept.
11. Rafael "Rafa" Ron, retired security czar of Ben Gurion International, Tel Aviv, was taken to Boston for reconstruction procedures
Logan, the starting point of the Two World Trade Center planes.
I have been to Ben Gurion once, named in honor of Israel's original prime minister. My first-
In 1982, as a second year high school student, I used to travel abroad and take El Al 747 from New York to Tel Aviv.
The memory is vague and the airport has been completely rebuilt anyway.
The Central Passenger Transport Hub Terminal 3, built in 2004 at a cost of $1 billion, is the largest and most costly aviation project in Israel's history.
It is operated and managed by the Israeli airport authority, a government authority that also manages land crossings like the allby Bridge.
Terminal 3 is impressive
The story structure of glass and steel stands out in desert tones.
The spacious departure hall reminds you of Terminal 1 at JFK Airport in New York.
Safe yes, it's tight and it's everywhere even before you go in.
We arrived by taxi and were briefly detained at a road checkpoint not far from the terminal.
Our driver is a Palestinian who was asked to be in M-16-
The bodyguard wants a passport.
The driver replied, "where are you from ? " Jerusalem.
That's half the truth.
In fact, we have already set out from there, although there is a way to go in Bethlehem in the West Bank.
This detour, no matter how harmless, is best not to leak when TLV rush to catch the plane.
Once you are in the building, the security staff will look at your ticket, give a thumbs up and have a short interview.
The process is no different from the short Lockerbie. induced Q-and-
A debriefing at the European airport, although for us, just coming back from neighboring Arab countries, it needs a smallinterrogation.
Why do we choose to go to Jordan?
See everything between Jerash, Petra, Vadi rum and. )
How long have we been there? Six days. )
How do we move around? Rented a car. )
Are we asked to bring a gift or package (
No, but I did hide a commemorative Palestinian flag in the magazine. )
Carry all luggage with you
Ons and other ways, before checking, will run next through the InVision machine-in. These igloo-
Shape CT scanner probe for bombs and explosives.
The InVision unit is also common in the US, but TLV simplifies the process to science.
Any baggage marked for additional review will be sent together with its owner to a separate station for manual inspection.
There, the staff can pull up the result scan while touching
Screen monitor that points out any offending items that cause suspicion (
For example, a ceramic pottery in the city of Madaba, Jordan). After check-
In the and seat allocation, passengers travel to the immigration line, where the procedures are roughly the same as in most other countries.
Then, follow a short corridor for a quick, easy trip through a metal detector and do another X-ray for carry-ons.
Total time from roadside to check-in lounge, not included for a few minutes
About 25 minutes in line.
Less than half an hour after the explosion scan, open-
Bag search, File Check, security interview, X-ray inspection.
This takes less time than it takes to pass a single metal detector in many USS. terminals.
A tip to TSA: there is no stupid shoe removal in Israel.
I don't know what old Lafite Ron's advice to American peers is, but it's been over four years.
11, our own airport agreement, very focused on footwear and hobby knives, still embarrassing mess and jury --rigged.
Security guards in Tel Aviv were selected from the Army, young, healthy, polite and attentive.
How to not insult hard-
Working there with TSA staff, but most importantly, the airport guardian in Israel looks like a professional.
In terms of quantity, Ben Gurion's security is obviously more stringent and obvious than that of the United States.
At the same time, it is more orderly and managed with a clear sense of purpose and ability.
In the end, it feels less dramatic and more efficient than the rigour we create at home.
To highlight how ridiculous our approach is, I was asked to take off my boots and put them in X-
After landing in the United States, the Thunder belt, on the way to adjacent routes, flying in the safe area.
If there's one thing Ben Gurion has more dignity than safety, it's--
I can't believe I 'd say that. -
The feeling of tranquility.
Even under the busy departure drive, the terminal is pleasantly quiet.
There is no hell of a CNN monitor at the door, and most importantly, there is no endless P-screen. A.
Warnings about unattended luggage and suspicious packages.
A short recording is played every 20 minutes or so, emphasizing the ban on the use of firearms in the premises.
If it seems to be an unnecessary reminder, you have never been to Israel, where soldiers and their weapons are everywhere.
This may be the only place on Earth to see a group of teenage girls giggling and chatting on their mobile phones, with automatic rifles hanging on their shoulders.
"It is completely forbidden to carry guns or any weapons components on the aircraft.
"This is obtained from the brochure" Passenger safety information "provided by the kiosk throughout the terminal.
Otherwise, a certain degree of vigilance of travelers will be assumed and understood.
Do not imply that the guards, as far as they are concerned, are not watching or paying attention.
Less than 20 seconds after I left my backpack, an officer was there to make sure it was mine and asked me to keep the distance.
But Tel Aviv is not impressed by strict or bullying rules ---
In any case, there is no surface.
This is common sense and efficiency.
This place is not only protected;
The passengers were very friendly.
So those who write seem right.
We can do worse than following our allies in the Middle East.
Unfortunately, why can't we, or why we don't have a system like they do, it's kind of like asking why streets in America can't be as clean as streets in Singapore.
It's mainly about scale.
There are dozens of super in America-
Hundreds of terminals of different sizes;
The top 25 airports across the country handle more than 20 million people a year.
Tel Aviv is the only major airport in Israel, receiving 9 million passengers a year. -
Similar to Raleigh. Durham, N. C.
The ability to focus on this single, integrated portal makes this work relatively simple.
There are, of course, some aspects to draw on, but it is naive, more diverse and fragmented to think that the Israeli agreement, in general, could be appropriate for countries with a 50-fold population increase.
The same applies to El Al, Israel's national airline.
It is true that no airline will be more careful to protect its fleet from damage.
Each El Al jet is equipped with defense, among other measuresmissile system.
Crew trained by handto-
At least six armed bailiffs are on each El Al flight.
But except for one-
El Al is a relatively small airline owned and funded by the state.
It operates less than 40 aircraft, all from one city, with only over 3 million passengers transported each year.
Compared with the United States, United States or Delta Airlines, the three companies have more than 500 aircraft.
There is about one American airline.
7 million passengers per week.
To protect our airports and skies, our spending has increased many times over the past few years.
The TSA budget alone is now close to $6 billion.
In many ways, the return on investment is negligible.
We have every right to feel disappointed and frustrated and ask for something better.
What we shouldn't do, however, is fantasize that a system is a button.
Like Israel, be down to earth and be safe.
Don't get me wrong. it must be possible.
Is to turn our airport into a fortress and our country into a complete one.
Security status--
Israel, of course.
This is something I wish I could never see, although many would think that we have gone well along this road ---
The tipping point was just another terrorist attack and another explosion.
When Ben Gurion International is still known as the Lod Airport, some of the trivia in 1972 (
After the city where the field is physically located)
A terrorist attack by the Japanese Red Army killed 26 people.
The last successful hijacking of an El Al aircraft was in 1968.
On 1986, an Irish citizen named Anne Murphy was found while trying to board the plane in London with 3 pounds kilograms of plastic explosives in his luggage.
It is said that with the cooperation of the Syrian government, Murphy's boyfriend Nezar Hindawi hid the money, prompting Britain to suspend diplomatic relations with the country.
On 1995, as part of Solomon's operation, an El Al Boeing 747 aircraft was flown by air to the Jewish people of Ethiopia.
Passengers on a commercial passenger plane carrying 1,087 people set a time record.
On 1992, an El Al 747 freighter crashed into an apartment building near Amsterdam, killing at least 47 people (
Since the building is home to many illegal immigrants, the actual total is disputed).
A corroded fuse pin causes the aircraft to not have it.
Engine separation after takeoff.
Subsequently, the wayward power plant collided with the adjacent engine and knocked it down from the fuselage.
The plane crashed during an emergency landing.
In Hebrew, El Al literally means "to on" or "to highest" but is traditionally translated as "skyward ".
"Some El Al cargo ships are traveling in unmarked stealth mode.
El Al's latest uniform is not half as handsome as it replaces. ------------
