Heard on Keith Olbermann's show on MSNBC last night: "If a terrorist has gotten as far as the security line in an airport, he's gotten past the NSA, CIA, FBI, MI-6 and Mosad. What makes you think that a high-school drop-out in a blue shirt is going to catch him?"
Because he's actually there. There's a good lesson they teach Israeli soldiers in boot camp, about the "night of the gliders" [1]. Basically, a fighter/terrorist got past security, managed to kill a bunch of soldiers, until he was killed by the soldier at the armory/warehouse. The lesson they teach is that all it takes to stop an attack is someone with tools, and the wits and courage to use them. You don't have to be an actual fighter. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Gliders This is a reference to the English Wikipedia, although it seems they say he was killed by an officer, and nothing more. The Hebrew Wikipedia says he was killed by the soldier responsible for the warehouse, which fits with the story I know.
