Gorebull Worming models are worse than useless at predicting.
Abstract
We compare the output of various climate models to temperature and precipitation observations at 55 points around the globe. We also spatially aggregate model output and observations over the contiguous USA using data from 70 stations, and we perform comparison at several temporal scales, including a climatic (30-year) scale. Besides confirming the findings of a previous assessment study that model projections at point scale are poor, results show that the spatially integrated projections are also poor.

The problem with the Isreali system is that you need competent operators who can learn the "tells", analyze information and make valid decsions based on the facts. Since TSA seems to be comprised mostly of ACORN rejects with little interest and fewer brains, it ain't gonna work here unless there's a sea change.

The Israeli profilers are just ordinary people with good training and good motivation.
TSA folk, many of whom are ex military, are just as good, however, the training would take a long time and the results might not be acceptable to Americans. That is because Americans don't like people knowing their business and many Americans have never been subjected to a serious inquiry. It would be very upsetting to them. Of course there is also the problem that CAIR would complain as would the ACLU and others.

At the risk of getting called for piling on, a quote from over at Instapundit:
According to an interview with the TSA Human Resources office, there is NO psychological testing of applicants.

Best idea i've heard all day. Hope someone makes a convincing argument on how we could ever hope to compare to Israeli style security with the human resources and mindsets we have to work with here at home. And soon. Ill be waiting in the troll lounge, Cheers!
The author of this is editor of a blog featuring posts of ex muslims and some infidel scholars that question sources and texts of Islam and point out the cruelty, the illogic and/or the absurdity of such texts and sources. One might expect such an editor to overvalue his impact on the world but his opinion is still important.
First, to the question of helping Muslim leave Islam or increasing the pool of Muslim apostates, when islam-watch was launched, one could only hear the names of Salman Rushdie, Ibn Warraq, Ayaan Hirsi, Taslima Nasrin, Anwar Shaikh, Nonie Darwish, Ali Sina, Abul Kasem, Sher Khan, Syed Kamran Mirza, Ayesha Ahmed and a few such apostates. But today, there are hundreds of testimonies of ex-Muslims floating on the internet. There are dozens of blogs, critical of Islam, started by ex-Muslims. There are former teachers of madrassas and imams of mosques, who have left Islam and writing actively or running anti-Islam blogs.
My belief is: suppression of Islamic radicalism through means other than the critical examination of the Islamic core, i.e. without true enlightenment about Islam, would not offer us a lasting solution to Islam's scourge on humanity. And the razor-sharp criticism of the Islamic core in Website like ours will play the decisive role in subverting the Islamic design, if we ever win this battle. Islam-watch.org, I believe, has made a contribution to that end in some measure. Enlightenment about Islam and consequent abandonment of it, silently or otherwise, is occurring on a scale never seen in history.

Duh... A fundamentalist outlook is impervious to intellectual intervention / analysis. Anyone who wises up is no longer a fundamentalist, but an apostate, as far as the fundawhackos are concerned.
Haul 'em (fundamentalist pisslamists) all down to the shock shop. With pork chops in their mouths...

I'm not so sure. History is replete with Islamic relapses.

Personally, I think the next step should be a series of "News of Islam" radio stations.
The internet postings of the apostates and scholars are good but the only audience is the small number of internet capable and curious in the Islamic world.
The number who get radio reception is about two orders of magnitude higher. This, however, is a very labor intensive task as it will require far more content and in many languages. We are probably at least 5 years away from having the cumulative talent to do this.
Hopefully, when that time comes, a financial angel will appear.

Sorry, I thought it said, "Is Entitlement Infecting...", a more believable thesis.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
