What's the price of NOT doing what the Israelis do? The Israelis do something very interesting: Before passengers even get as far as checking in for flights, they are asked probing and often annoying or offensive questions. "THE SAFEST airline in the world, it is widely agreed, is El Al, Israel's national carrier. The safest airport is Ben Gurion International, in Tel Aviv. No El Al plane has been attacked by terrorists in more than three decades, and no flight leaving Ben Gurion has ever been hijacked."
