Israeli security experts are sceptical of talk in America and Europe about the need to “Israelify” airport security, following the attempt to blow up a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day.
In an Israeli-style system, they say, security in the airport itself is only one component of an entire framework for combating terror. It would also require the political will to use controversial methods such as racial profiling.
“The main terror risk for Israel is not a bomb smuggled on to a plane in Ben-Gurion Airport, as that requires a sophisticated operation to evade the high-tech sensors and multi-layered security system,” explains one former security official, “but a bomb going off in a coffee shop in Jerusalem or Tel-Aviv. All that requires is getting the bomb through the barriers between Israel and the West Bank and past the lone security guard at the entrance.”
Since its foundation, Israel’s security organisations have preferred to focus on the sources of the terrorist threat rather than on their targets. This increasingly has meant taking the battle to the headquarters of the groups sending the would-be bombers, in a series of small operations, many of them secret, and higher-profile ones, such as Operation Cast Lead against Hamas in Gaza last year.
In addition, Israel carries out continuous interdiction efforts on the routes through which terrorists could try to smuggle weapons into Israel.
The closeness of Ben-Gurion Airport to the West Bank’s hilltops also means that the IDF pays careful attention to areas from which a hand-held missile could be launched against an airliner.
Another issue is air-control procedures to prevent a case in which a hijacked airliner could be crashed into the urban area around Tel-Aviv. Israel Air Force fighter jets are on 24-hour alert to scramble to identify planes which fail to identify properly when approaching Israeli airspace.
Well-rehearsed procedures include notifying the PM or Defence Minister in case they need to give authorisation for shooting down a civilian airliner.
