I think El Al has like 60 flights a day. It's a hell of a lot easier to secure that airline and to implement their security screening program with that kind of schedule. To put it in perspective, I'll bet that Delta operates more flights out of ATL in one hour than El Al operates all day! And American and United each do the same in ORD! Southwest probably does that as well at BWI!

Those who say, do it like El Al do not realize that their model is simply not scalable to the US. You've got a much bigger country, with a lot more people, and a lot more flights operating.
