9-11 was 4 airliners-and a total of 19 successful hijackers. That's hardly a single failure.
I consider El Al to be very effective. They have one hell of a lot of people trying to target them-and they continue to deny them the satisfaction of success.
Their kind of interview program definitely works. People are not good at masking their intent for very long. The subconscious never lies, and if you learn what to look for, it will betray people's true intent time after time.
