A few years ago, … I traveled to Israel … through Ben Gurion, as pristine, clean, empty, and beautiful an airport as I’ve ever been in. There were no lines anywhere and sightlines everywhere … . Indeed, before you step into the airport, you’ve already been scrutinized by Israeli security agents monitoring all approaching automobiles and entry doors. (Lowrey, 2010, para. 1)
The Israeli method of surveillance is not as intrusive as at U.S. airports, yet more thorough in screening passengers. Rather than removing shoes, belts, and other articles, passengers are politely asked a series of questions out of earshot from others. Travelers feel protected from potential terrorist strikes because of the high quality of surveillance.
