If I recall correctly, Chertoff expressed interest only in Israeli technology, not procedures and practices. The Feds are not going to give up looking for bombs instead of bombers — looking for bombs makes much better theatre and insults and inconveninces far more people.
I’m convinces that there are hundreds (if not thousands) of people working for TSA in DC whose job it is to come up with new procedures — there is NO ONE working for TSA whose job it isto make these procedures actually work FOR the traveling public.
The former head of El Al security said it best ‘you don’t have a passenger security system, you have a passenger annoyance system.’
