Default The Israeli/El Al Model

We need to adopt a profiling approach similar to that adopted by El Al.

One argument against using this model is that it would create too many delays. I don't see how much further, on the "delay scale," we can can go from where we are now. People are being told to arrive at the airport 3 hours prior to departure. I believe that's the time frame quoted for Tel Aviv (TLV).

Finally, I wonder how many people, under the age of 4, get an extensive search prior to boarding at TLV?
