There are certain elements of the systems that are similiar, but I can find no concrete info stating that TSA is modeled after the Israeli security system in place at TLV. Certain aspects of our society would most likely not allow that type of a security enviorn to develop here. The people living in Israel grow up with a much more intense exposure to varying forms of terrorism and attacks than we do here. Again, long winded way of saying I can find nothing that says that.
