Just bring back the draft (but without the exemptions for rich and politically well-connected folks).
The gold standard for safety is El Al, which hasn't had a hijacking since 1968. The airline declines to discuss specific security measures. El Al Chairman Israel Borovich said Aug. 10 on Bloomberg TV that Israel's compulsory military service means El Al employees are better prepared for security-related tasks.

"Many of our employees have to do reserve duty,'' he said. "Many of our pilots are serving in the military. That's part of the way of life in Israel.''
