Anyone who has ever been through a mandatory 15-45 minute "interrogation" at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, knows how much more effective this process is than any X-ray or backscatter screening.

Richard Reid failed the interrogation at Ben Gurion and was prohibited from boarding his El Al flight.

All the technology in the world will not prohibit a determined terrorist from boarding an airplane. But the infamous Israeli brain screening works every time.
