FULL STORY
the article is actually mis-leading as it mentions "severe security shortcomings" which would lead one to believe the israeli equivalent of the tsa (in name only as imho, they are not) is suspect but what it then goes on to mention lack of proper supervision, overcrowded airspace, and outdated technology however we have the pot calling the kettle black here in terms of lack of proper supervision, overcrowded airspace, and outdated technology as the faa itself has been like this for oh, let's say 30 years.....

to the faa i say "physician heal thyself!
