- I am Israeli and I posted a comment about the Vegas attack and got a lot of responses. I see it’s a hot topic. So, I want to bring up my conclusion.In Israel we learned it the hard way, it seems the US going the hard way too. Untrained and unarmed “Security” personnel giving a feeling of a false safety. There were NO armed security in this huge hotel. Wow!!!
So I travel a lot in the US and here are some more observations. Nothing frastrates me more than the unarmed and untrained TSA people at the airports. They are supposed to locate explosives and terroris and are unarmed and look more like school janitors than security personnel. I never see them looking at people to detect terrorist behavior. Now that IsIs is losing you should be prepare for a major revenge attack. They will try to show they are stil strong. In Israel the situation is more dengerous so we have more security, you enter a mall you see armed guards and detectors, you go to a government office like for a passport and you have to pass security, bus stations , security. The big places have more than one and submachine guns and the small places a regular pisol. BUT, all those security people have the look of special forces experts, tough, confident, alert and you know you don’t want to mess with them. Every security position even at the smallest business is occupied by people who are armed and have battle experience.
I don’t say America need to get to the same extreme but in Airports and sensitive places YES and if someone is carrying the title “Security” they better be trained professionals or they are putting people who trust them at risk. The US have many trained Veterans who could hold those positions.
I have to mention there is some improvement in the US airports. But not TSA. Blessings. . - LikeLiked by 3 people

David – In the USA, some time back they found we had over 70 TSA ‘agents’ who were on the terrorist watch list.
