Everyone probably knows the deal with the U.S. and airline/airplane/airport security, but are other countries as strict about air transportation security as the U.S.? Are there any other more strict countries? Do the countries that have the added problem of drug trafficking have super strict air transportation policies? If so, list a few.

I've been to Turkey a few times and they dont take many chances with people of any race. Prior to boarding a flight all passengers are physically patted down in a curtained enclosure where they can have you undress if they deem it so. Then, before people are allowed to actually get on the plane the passengers must identify their personal luggage (which has been inspected and x-rayed) that is sitting on the ground near the plane before that person can get aboard. That piece of luggage is marked with chalk so it cant be claimed by anyone else. There are military gaurds with submachine guns standing by as well. Any unclaimed bags do not get loaded on the airplane.

Check out the requirements for Israel. They have the strictist standards of any nation. Most nations have adopted their policies and practices since they have been combating terrorism in the skies for decades. They were the first to introduce hardened pilot cabin doors to thwart assaults during the 1970s. The U.S. didn't introduce the practice till after 9-11 in 2001-2

lets get this straight.
in the USA nothing, if you talk about going to another country, has really changed, or if so just very little.
on the other hand, if you leave a country to come to the USA they check you like you're a terrorist.
so the USA don't give a sh*t who is leaving and what they doing, but other country's must do what the USA wants or you can't come here.
at least that's what I see when I travel and I travel
