The Transportation Security Administration wants you to enjoy your holiday by assuring you that all necessary heightened security standards have been implemented, and by taking note that, in the event of an Islamic Terrorist attack, only a fractional percentage of the US population will be wounded or die.
Happy Holiday !>:-} ...Jim Thompson

See, we're looking out for you...
We should do this here in the USA...
Cheers
Agreed! We could learn from Australia and Germany as to security screening. Though I've never been to Israel (*) I understand the security checking is even more intense.
(*) Though I did do a chip design for GOI MOD (Government of Israel, Ministry of Defense)... very sharp bunch of engineers! ...Jim Thompson

I'm calling bullshit on this one, just another case of unscrupulous parents using their children to cash in, like that couple at Disney in Florida tha t encouraged the unwanted younger child to play near the alligator infested lake. The lawsuit was filed just a bit fast, less than 24 hours, like the papers were drawn up in advance, waiting and ready to filed.
The Japanese are famously racist. If you aren't Japanese, you aren't human.
Even Korean immigrants to Japan have a hard time. Donald Trump probably bel ieves something equally silly some of the time, but his opinions are suffic iently erratic to be ignored - he'll come up with something equally foolish - but in a different way - when he next gets media attention.

Check out the security in their banks. Unparalleled. Reason ? There are alo t of would be bank robbers in Israel. Same is kinda true about Cleveland, t he way all the highways converge here you could actually get away with it. If it takes the cops two minutes to get there they have no idea which way y ou went.
And of course like most of the US, we guard the money in the banks with gun s but not the kids in our schools.
Security in banks is less about the money than show. The average bank robbery nets a couple of grand. The guard isn't going to shoot anyone, or risk being shot himself, over that. Indeed, *everyone* in the bank is instructed to give the perps whatever they want. The guard is to give the customers warm fuzzies.
Worse, we advertise them as free shooting zones (gun-free victim zones).
Yeah, I don't think you need guns to get kids to study... Just give them a time out if they misbehave.
