Shin Bet to upgrade "security" at LAX
The following news, carried on Ynet, confirms that state
terrorist gangsterism and spying in general, against anyone
and everyone, has become one of the leading items that the
Zionists are packaging for export into the world market. It
ain't just for Palestinians any more --- although, given
the large concentrations of Palestinians in LA County and
Orange County, there may be rather more to what amounts to
implanting a Shin Bet operations centre in LAX than just
this security-upgrade contract.
This report suppresses mentioning a most significant
historical fact concerning Israel's recent relations with
Los Angeles airport's security. The El-Al guard's slaughter
--- a few years ago, in cold blood, in broad daylight, in
the airport concourse --- of an entirely innocent Arab
passenger who was about to board one of its flights, and
the aftermath (no arrest, no trial), really tell us
everything we need to know about who's "secure" and who's
not in the hallways of LAX.
The article's description of this contract as
"unprecedented" is overblown, because apparently, for some
time now, Israeli security organs have been hired by major
internatinoal airport hubs in Europe to "consult" on
security upgrading.

Shin Bet to upgrade security in LA Airport

airport's security arrangements. Israeli team leaves six
suggestions for improving LA Airport security. Consul

cooperation

A team of Shin Bet and Ben Gurion Airport security experts
recently reviewed the security arrangements at Los Angeles
International Airport and suggested recommendations for
improvement.
The original initiative for the visit was brought up by
Jack Weiss, a Los Angeles City Council member who
participated in a homeland security conference held by the
Israeli Foreign Ministry, during which he was very
impressed by the security arrangements at Ben Gurion
Airport.
Upon his return to the United States, Weiss contacted the
Consulate General of Israel in Los Angeles to arrange a
visit of Israeli security experts.
The Israeli team made patrols and held meetings with those
responsible for airport security, which is about to go
through a USD 500 million upgrade. The Israeli team pointed
out a number of weak points and holes in the airport
security system and passed on a list of recommendations to
their American counterparts.
President of the Los Angeles Airport Board of Airport
Commissioners Alan Rothenberg said that the Israelis had at
least six suggestions to improve security, some of which
were relatively easy to carry out, and others that
necessitate sophisticated technological developments.
Israeli Consul General in Los Angeles Ehud Danoch said that
this is an unprecedented project in which the commissioners
of an Israeli governmental body, as opposed to experts from
the private sector, have come to an American airport for an
extensive examination of the security arrangements.
Danoch's deputy, Yaron Gamburg, said that the visit
signifies a new stage of cooperation in homeland security
with the US.
