    ??? You're saying there have been terrorist killings at airports that have been unreported? Or are you saying there is just no evidence of any such killings?

      There's a threat terrorists will jump into my shower and kill me. It's a low-level threat to be sure, but it exists.

            there are gates here with their own xray and metal detectors (meaning..... you clear 'security' twice , before boarding)

              No, they just get stopped before they get to the airport. Any time TSA procedures change it's usually a result of a recently discovered plot (or security audits like this one).

                I understand. And that is why I asked how many actual terrorist-caused airport deaths there have been since 9/11.

                    I've been to some airports (Dubai, Paris) where you go through three security checks. The final one just before you board, and that's the most "intrusive."

                          I remember landing in Rome back in 1990. There were tanks on the runway. Inside pairs of security guards patrolled the airport with a muzzled German Shepherd on a chain. They also had some kind of automatic assault gun. You've never seen a more well-behaved group of high school kids who just wanted to get the hell out of there.

                            I've been for foreign airports where each gate had their own security, but I didn't have to go through security twice. I wonder if it was so they could have different procedures for local flights vs transatlantic. One place that comes to mind is Schiphol in Amsterdam. The waiting area was split in two -- pre security and post security. Before the flight started boarding they herded everyone through the body scanners and into the secure waiting area. They were very quick and efficient. I remember one woman got kind of offended when the female security agent went straight for her bra underwire when it showed up as an anomaly on the body scanner (didn't tell her what was going on, just started feeling under her boobs and then sent her on her way).

                              Had that happen at Heathrow in 2004. As we boarded, we were told to go right or left. People in the 'right' line, including me, had all of their carry-on baggage extensively pawed through, including opening up eyeglasses cases and feeling the linings, checking for hidden pockets in luggage, etc. Took over 90 minutes to fully board the d@mn plane because of that.

                              And can we please stop sending people who don't pay for TSA Pre into the TSA Pre lane? FFS, they are always holding up the line because they don't know the rules and don't listen to the agents. It's almost inevitably senior citizens who can barely hear, too.

                                Yup. If I ever have to fly to that part of the world again it's El Al.
