I am quite naive in these matters but I see two reasons why this won't happen: 1). This will effectively tear down the security theater (again, I assume this is what it is and may be uninformed that there is a real threat). 2). It is difficult to train a large number of personnel to perform behavioral analysis given the traffic the US airports handle.


israel reportedly does a good job at it. Of course they only have to deal with a few airports.


Yeah, I have to admit that they do a good job of screening you without making you feel like you've done something wrong.

Still felt that I was targeted for some reason, but they helped me skip a few queues once they confirmed everything was in order.

Net result was a fairly neutral experience. Which is kind of good I guess.


Israeil has a small population/traveler count and a relatively direct threat. The US has a huge population/traveler count and a vague possibility of threat.

That may not work here.


I wouldn't want to travel to Israel as an Arab or a Muslim though.
