Wow. I didn't think the no-fly list would be quite this stupid. It's just a list of names? They don't have useful stuff like pictures, physical descriptions, age, race, sex, etc?

I think jamisjockey is referring to the fact that every attempted terror attack has resulted in more and more TSA/DHS rules & regulations, resulting in less and less privacy and freedom. In that way, they have been successful.

My point exactly.  Every attack has resulted in a creeping incrementalisim that invades every aspect of our lives.

You'll never get me to say that TSA is "just doing it's job" or any other crap like that. We watched as 2 surly Mediterranean types that were annoying just about everybody in the area were practically guided through with hugs and kisses, while they damn near strip-searched my wife in her wheelchair.  I let them know in no uncertain terms what idiots they were. All their attitudes changed somewhat after that and we were on our way. Those people are so afraid of being accused of "profiling" they are completely reversing their train of thought.

White infirm scarred women in wheelchairs: Whoa! Call for backup, we've got a problem ;/

You... seem to have a magical delusion that Israel's screening system is not invasive to random, non-suspicious people.

In short - no.

any screening system is going to be invasive. the thing is the israel one seems to actually work. ours is a joke. all it does is create a visable presences that sorta soothes the ignorent, and even thats not working anymore since they've had too many screw ups.

my thoughts are, if your gonna be invasive, you better have real results. i would prefer no invasive, but thats not gonna happen.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

At least the guy was fired. 

Where did you read that he was fired? I read that he was disciplined "appropriately," but -- as usual -- they couldn't/wouldn't say what that meant.

At the bottom of the article, there is an update where they claim that he no longer works for them.  The author points out that it could be firing or quitting, they don't know.

some of you folks would not like the guys from el al either. they don't like folks who don't talk to them and could give a hootif it hurts your feelings. i know a moron that tryed to flex with them and his family left his butt at the airport and flew on without him when he got stupid and they denied him boarding
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

You realize an Israeli company screened underpants guy in NL, right? If our method had worked, it'd have worked there.

But besides, Israel screens everyone. And we don't just have searches in airports - we pat people down on entrance to every train and bus station, too. And shopping malls, hotels, colleges, courthouses, museums, and so on, and so force. Profiling? HAHAHA. Everybody opens their bags, everybody gets patted down or screened for metal. Everybody carries a state-issued ID card.
