James, El Al racially profiles- you dont like it? fly TACA (take another carrier amigo). If you dont fit their "profile" your ass is hauled off to the side and you are interrogated- they squeeze your toothpaste to make sure its toothpaste, they ask you lots of questions, sift through your belongings, see how you respond to random questions- they are trained to spot liars- they strip search you- they have armed sky marshalls and armed pilots on every flight- they dont play- they cant AFFORD to play and these days, neither can america- we are in a war, this isnt the rolling 50's anymore.
