This channel is amazing thank you for what you do.

You're still my favorite airplane channel.

My issue with pushing potential danger away from the aeroplane is that is moves the danger into a larger crowd of people. The queue before security. Can't get past security? No problem. Blow yourself up in the line instead.

Flying is very bad for the environment so it's good if we discourage as many as possible from it.

Themcx Ones religious preference is not a security factor. In Israel it is socially impolite to ask outright "what is your religion". In Israel we have large minorities of Arab Christians, Arab Muslim, Druze, Bedouin Muslim. Many serve in the Israeli armed forces, army, police etc...so we don't really care if a tourist is Muslim or not.

Its because they are working a useless dead end job with no real power, so they take it out on everyone else.

Same, when I was visiting the Washington Monument I got arrested because I tried to bring 1kg of cocaine and 1kg of explosives up! In all seriousness, my sisters and mother always get held up at airport security because they have food, my baby sisters bottle/sippy cup, or coins, while my dad and I are super quick and are at the gate before their even through the detectors

That's because they are trying to protect the liberty bell. Doing that for a harmonica doesn't make sense, but in 2001 someone actually did strike the bell with hammer so it's not unprecedented exactly.

Every time I go thru airports they check my shit bc I carry a harmonica and they ask me to blow in it to prove its not an assault rifle or something lol

Israel's security is so good because they can use profiling. Profiling allows you to focus your security resources on the people you really need to keep an eye on. In the US granny's get strip searched because the TSA has to treat everybody equally.

I'm Israeli and I can confirm. Most security forces/services training puts emphasize on suspicious behavior which can be a person walking quickly among a crowd. This is all mostly based on experience, "written in blood" if you will. When I was at the central bus station in Be'er Sheva, a guy really needed to take a piss and he was literally running and trying to cut the line, and he was blocked by all of the security guards at the entrance hall..m

I’m an ordinary Caucasian man and got the third degree by some TSA dingbat upon arrival in Newark while three men who could have been Osama bin Laden’s quadruplet brothers breezed through passport control. Another time when arriving back in Europe, I was pulled out for secondary customs inspection and passport control in my own country while two Arab looking women on one way tickets, no money and unable to speak any western language were allowed to go while my bags were turned inside out.

Listen man, I live in Israel too and I'm deeply against racism, but you can't say it's a bad system since pretty much all of terrorist attacks are done by Male traveling alone Arab people. I hate the fact you were judged by your race but the security of the citizens is much more important than some people feeling uncomfortable.

Honestly, they could probably use a different fuse (perhaps a time fuse for a few hours for a 4-hour flight) or something of that sort. And also, it might be meal time during that dive, so it might be beneficial to the security or the attacker.

They could set the fuse to trigger the second time the pressure drops, accounting for the one in the checkpoint.

It only would prevent pressure triggers and anything else that the change in pressure would cause to create a problem like a leaky can of hairspray. They need so many different checks because if an airline relied on just one people would just design bombs that didn't rely on pressure.

Your passport sticker number changes each time you fly.

Years ago I stumbled across a video clip from an unknown source, titled “passport control,” which seemed to be from an Israeli comedy show something like SNL in the US. Apparently, Israelis don’t take ALL of their security procedures seriously, and I got a chuckle from it. In the skit, a young woman in uniform was screening passengers, and a clean cut young man presented his passport. The agent looked at him and the passport, shook her head, and said “Lo” (the only Hebrew words I know which were used in the skit are “lo” and “ken”). The man motioned for her to wait, pulled out a kafiyeh (Arab headdress) and put it on; she still said “lo.” He pulled a false beard out of his bag and put it on; still “lo.” Then he held up an AK-47 and posed with it, making a “victory” sign with his free hand. Finally, with the man looking exactly like a Palestinian fighter, she smiled, nodded, said “Ken,” then stamped and returned his passport! If any Israeli citizens recognize the skit and know the names of the actors, the name of the show, or the year it aired on Israeli TV, please reply here. Oh, and congratulations to your newest Hollywood Star, Gal Gadot!

Allan Richardson that's probably from eretz nehederet, I'll see if I can find it. Also, yes, since we have security screenings everywhere (metal detectors and x-ray machines at malls and train stations) it's part of everyday life and people make jokes about it.

Allan Richardson - Hopefully that type of trash will be destroyed and its occupation ended.

Makes sense. Israel is surrounded by people who despise them, which is exceptionally unique.

No other country will ever conduct the same security system, and that's because of Politically Correct bullshit and because of the wonderful hypocrisy! Stay safe everyone.

@@NoamTheGOAT50 If people decided to profile Christians in the Middle East. The West would lose their fucking minds, it's not political correctness, it's human decency.

@@AR-qo4zz okay, listen, actions of few? Are you blind? Listen majority of Muslims are good people, I'm not going to argue with you, because majority of most humans (no matter religion, skin color or origins) are good. However, obviously there's a problem with a lot of Muslim extremists that all they care about, is to destroy Israel, so Israel is doing what it supposed to do, and that's to protect itself and the population and tourists. Now, if you ask me, other major airports in the world should be doing the same thing, especially with the rise of more and more terrorism that targets other Western World countries, other than Israel!

@@NoamTheGOAT50 When the last time you've heard about a Muslim hijacking a plane in any western country. Racial profiling could be justified for Israel because if it's location and history and the current climate in that region, but in the west it would be an absolute disgrace and a way for the majority to over reach and fuck over a minority because they look 'suspicious'. I never hear white people or Christians come out and say racially profile white male students because they're a higher risk to commit a school shooting. Most hate groups in America consist of white male extremely conservative and extremely religious (Christianity) people. The most notorious hate group, the KKK, feature a cross on their clothing. Maybe the Middle East and all of Africa should start profiling those people in their airports. You over look the terrorism and dangerous groups in your country and only focus on the muslim minority. Shameful....

People pass drugs by stuffing them into condoms and swallowing them, or inserting them in their body cavities. So even naked, they could smuggle stuff! And since X-rays would likely not have the contrast to distinguish them from your stomach's normal content, even that wouldn't stop it. Full-body MRI perhaps?

Simply put, they have all the reason to do so, and then pin it on Assad. The US wants Assad gone so they can put in their oil line, ISIS wants Assad gone because he's a secular leader.

Planning an attack on a place with any security at all is, you know, actual work. Stealing a car or truck and hitting people is way easier. It can happen pretty much anywhere (near roads). It's (sadly) not only something nearly anyone can do, it's also at lesser risk of discovery (before it happens) and in the long run just as - if not more - effective.

Yea dude. Flying is a safe way to travel, but TSA scares people off, they will get on a car and have a higher risk of dying.

1.5x playback everything - thank me later I'm old enough to remember tracking decades before 9/11. The same idiots I saw before 9/11 sleeping on a stool while 'guarding' a locked door are the people folded into the TSA. They have unions and are nearly impossible to fire, especially if they are a minority. The governemt usually sucks at what they do. Go back to private security and have real accountability. Employ security professionals. Hell, send them to Israel to be trained and weeded out if that is what it takes. Most of all, realize that political correctness is not worth a single death.

I certainly know increased airport security got very annoying. So time consuming. I used to bring small pocket knives onto aircraft. Those are barely a threat, but nowadays you wouldn't be allowed to. Yet in the mid 90's nobody batted an eyelid even going through security with them. Anyway, all things have consequences many of which aren't immediately obvious. It's counter-intuitive, but essentially correct; Increased airport security may indeed be increasing the death rate overall. Makes aircraft (marginally) safer, but it makes travel in general less safe. Go figure.
