Absolutely not. Unlike Israel, (1) we have a constitutional prohibition against this kind of interrogation, (2) we are not in a state of constant war with hostile powers. Because of the skill of our intelligence services (post-9/11) there has not been a terrorist attack on American soil -- interdiction works here and, rather than sacrifice the Constitutional guarantees of freedom of liberty that have worked for this country for more than 200 years, I'd rather put my faith and trust in the FBI, CIA, NSA and real police agencies, than the Kafka-esque incompetent nightmare that is TSA.
