you have 10000 CCTVs pointed at the place, you are still NOT going to stop anyone from planting a bomb or shooting people.. you need people there, ready for action... people walking around, mingling to look at the suspicious characters...
you CANNOT do that on a CCTV... simple as that..
El-Al? could happen to us.. and 1 million CCTV cameras will not stop a bomb from going off
What i meant is EL AL is diff from orther airlines.. not diff from this situation.

Everywhere their flight goes. They have armed personnel with them. And the airport must agree to their SOP. If not they will not fly there.
CCTVs are just there as a deterrent to hum ji criminals. Afterall, putting cops at every corner of the streets everyday 24/7 is an equally useless idea.
Its just there as a buffer la. Afterall. the whole location where the IMF will be held will be like a high security zone. We all see how well protected raffles city was.
nevertheless, there will be loopholes. But hey, itimidation is better than nothing.
