Except it’s not a logical fallacy to claim the slippery slope when there has been an actual slip. In this case the slip has been the degradation of the security protocols ever since 9/11.

And the scanners are related to profiling because both violate civil liberties.

I think Israel is the perfect model for security. They have it down to an art.

When I was in the Amsterdam airport our gate was across from the El Al gate and their security process was quick, seamless, and thorough. Going through ours was a laborious waste of time.

Thanks for the link!

Good article on why we should look to Israel as a model for security at airports.

It is going to make travel a lot less pleasant. There are even more changes coming, the TSA has announced a new security directive going into effect in a few days.
