Airport security checks in the world of today |
|
|
|
A far cry from the laxity of the past, the consensus among air travellers today, however irate and apoplectic they may get over its inevitability, is that airport security is generally accepted as a necessary inconvenience factored into commercial air travel. The vast majority of security agencies at airports worldwide will focus primarily on checking and screening what contents are being put through by their passengers, whereas Israel, a country with an impeccable track record in safety, reinvents the rulebook with a reversal of priorities, insisting that security is best served by obtaining prior assurances on the human characteristics vis-à-vis perceived threat level before scrutinizing other elements. The logic follows that, if the vetting works well, the traveller is safe, as should all else be. |
