Abuse of Authority - Israeli Edition

Are we sure we want to go the Israeli route on security?
Cause I can see the TSA just LOVING this kind of abuse of authority.

Foreign journalists have told of their distress after being asked to remove their bras for a security check before being allowed into the offices of Israel's prime minister.

That's security for the PM, which is different than security at the airports.

Which I am told is totally unlike anything in the US because it involves lots of interviewing and little physical searching unless the interview raises suspicions.

The only reason we might not be able to use Israeli style security here is because of the size of this nation, the number of airports, and the number of passengers. It seems that it takes far more than two weeks to train their airport security personnel.

Two weeks? you think the TSA has two weeks of training?
Fill out the employment form. Drug test? No we don't do those.
If I'm not mistaken, Israel uses retired military at their airport security checkpoints. They do profile. Cull out the suspicious characters. They don't grope 6 year old girls.
Has nothing whatsoever to do with the size of this country.
Yeesh,I've typed and retyped, backspaced and deleted this last sentence so many times I have acid reflux. So I'll just boil it down into...REALLY?
