It's interesting you mention that. The US (& most other places) may have something to learn from Israel here. It is my understanding that they make people waiting in airport lines to remain in small groups and arrange them in such a way as to minimise the expected loss of life in the case of suicide bombings etc.

I think we should be looking to learn from everyone, but at the same time, the scale of the problem is so vastly larger in the US than Israel or pretty much anywhere else we could look to that I fear the lessons won't translate well.

I'm pretty sure the threat of terrorism in Israel is greater on any scale than America's.

Absolutely, but it has a lot fewer airports. This is what I mean by scale.
