Is that what you think? There is "college educated," and, "college educated." Attending a college guarantees nothing.
Also I think you misjudge the El Al approach. It is much more centered on training and skill than profiling.
Which is why it will fail here. The people in Israel who do this are trained and experienced intelligence professionals. The people in the U.S. who do this are "college-educated" clerks who couldn't find a better job than working for TSA.
They would not have their perfect security record just by hassling every Arab passenger flying on El Al.
I agree with this. However, what TSA is doing may
look like Israeli-style security, but it
isn't Israeli style security and, moreover, its presumptively unconstitutional.
