Yossi Amrusi: The solution must be international. It is not enough to tighten procedures in Israel if foreign carriers operate under different screening systems. Information sharing, joint standards, and cooperation between countries, aviation authorities, and airlines are required.

Security controls are ultimately only as effective as the oversight and rigid implementation behind them. Ultimately, No screening is capable with certainty to identify crew members who conceal their malicious or dangerous intentions. To improve the ability to prevent a disaster, we need to have additional protection mechanisms in the form of technological or remote tools which are built to handle a situation where a person manages to slip through the screenings.
