Well, actually, it was not limited to commercial planes.
It is my understanding that the RAF destroyed a tremendous number of planes during the Battle of Britain. Are you contending that every British passenger should have his luggage checked to make certain that he is not concealing a Spitfire inside?
It would make about as much sense as bringing the Libyan jet incident into a discussion of what steps Israel takes at its airport to prevent terrorist attacks.
