Ah, the power of the anecdote.
Leaving that aside: Do you think that the same procedures, done by American civil servants dealing with Americans would go as quickly? Or are Israelis a little more accustomed to dealing with security procedures?
If we tried the Israeli security methods -- don't they interview every passenger and require you to get to the airport 3 hours early? -- the level of bitching would be deafening.
Beyond that -- How much does El Al spend on security every year? How much does the Israeli government spend?
