Israel has been very strict about planes to and from their country for a long time, and so far it has worked for them. I don't think it's all about elections and I'm glad someone's trying to do something about terrorism. It's a real threat.
However...this thread was more about the people they're hiring to protect me. Even though I'm glad they are doing searches (hey, the fact that they do it alone could discourage people), I don't feel that people who can't respect someone elses personal property are the types of people we can consider reliable when it comes to terrorism, and I find it scary.
I have to move later this month, which means everything I own is either going to be shipped over or brought on a plane with me. There's no way I can bring all that stuff on carry on...and it's kind of making me nervous to think about the chances that something is going to go missing along the way.
