Should we be discussing El Al security?

An excellent question! The best answer: a speaker for El Quada said that terrorists never contemplated Anthrax as a weapon until it got so much press in October.

An interesting post on another board discussed whether it was proper to go up to someone on a flight you think is a "security officer" and thank them.

The answer to that, of course, was the picture of terrorists throwing the lifeless body of an American soldier out of the front door of a highjacked plane a few years ago.

So please, grow up! The game you are playing is dangerous indeed. You might be the winner of the dubious distinction of triggering an idea that will lead to yet another airline splattered across the earth.

BTW, my son is in Jerusalem right now, returning this weekend. I'm glad he is flying El Al.
