The eternal quest to determine who among us is evil and capable of inflicting death and destruction is being played out by the TSA agents at our airports.
The TSA is employing technology with the hope that x-rays and scanners will weed out the “bad” from the “good.” The reality is that scanners cannot detect evil intentions any more than they can detect the latest explosive devices.
Humans for eons have interacted, bonded and judged one another based on personal contact. Israel’s airport security agents rely less on technology and more on human psychology, personal contact and interaction. Their success is a matter of record.
It is a commonly held belief that our eyes are the windows to our souls yet we learn most TSA agents are too busy examining our “junk” to look into our eyes.
