U.S. won't adopt Israeli security system, Napolitano says

It is all or nothing where profiling is concerned?

 
  • U.S. won't adopt Israeli security system, Napolitano says (via AOPA Aviation Brief email newsletter)
    The U.S. has no plans to adopt Israel's airport security system, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said this week shortly before touring Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion International Airport. Israel's system relies largely on behavioral profiling, in contrast to the pat-downs and scanners used in the U.S. Napolitano indicated that the size of the U.S., with 310 million people, compared with 7.3 million in Israel, makes it impossible for the U.S. to rely solely on profiling. Napolitano also discussed cargo screening and non-metallic explosives during meetings with Israeli officials. FoxNews.com (1/4)
