I'm far from an expert but from what I know about the way Ben Gurion handles security, I don't see why any of their security measures wouldn't scaled.


According to[1] Israel spends almost 10 times as much pr passenger on Security than the US does. Also Israel handles 1.3 million passengers a year, compared with over 700 million in the US. So the amount of scaling that needs to be done is far from trivial both in terms of money and manpower, and might not even be possible.

As someone pointed out in another thread, the 1.3 million number is wrong. The correct number is 13 million. Sorry.
