There is an easier model called "less stringent security". Flying is incredibly safe. There is little evidence that the TSA's onerous security processes safe enough lives to be worth their massive costs.

The Israeli model requires ethnic and religious discrimination. It is not an option in the US, nor should it be.

Should it be an option there?

That's for them to decide.
