Why does nobody discuss the El Al approach and success record in dealing with airline security? Since the early 80's, I believe, there has been no significant breach of their security.
El Al's is interview and background based, with a succession of trained screeners. In addition, your luggage never leaves you until you are cleared to board the plane.
Would this not work in our system?

My name is Samuel Oduyela, I am a Nigerian journalist living inWashington DC.
I was wondering how you think Nigerian government will be of help to the US government in fighting terrorism when it has failed several times to prevent local terrorism.
The government of Obasanjo, got wind of attempts by Islamic Terrorists to use Maiduguri in Borno State as training camp for terrorism, in 2005, Taliban was launched in Yobe State Nigeria and the Government could not do anything to stop it..
The present National Security Adviser did not do anything in 8 years to prevent local religious riots because trhe people behind it are Hausas and those in power are Hausas.
With the recent revelations concerning the alleged plans by groups like the Michigan Militia, what concerns are there that these groups will seek to use transportation terror as part of their radical methodology? Let's not forget that prior to 911, our most deadly terror attack was not at the hands of a radical Muslim group, but a radical segment of middle white America.
