New IRV Unvailed

TAC Motors announced the launch of a military version of its Stark Jeep, the Stark IRV (Incident Response Vehicle), which will cost more than $700,000. It will feature Israeli technology monitoring and tracking. The production will continue to be made in Santa Catarina, Brazil and other military equipment will come from Israel.

This is a partnership between the TAC Motors and IAI Elta (Israel Aerospace Industries), who leads the worldwide market for development and production of defense systems and homeland security.

The official launch of the Stark IRV (Incident Response Vehicle) happened last week at LAAD - Defense & Security trade fair for defense and security in Latin America, which is held every two years in Rio de Janeiro.

The high price of the Stark IRV (Incident Response Vehicle) is due to Israeli equipment, which includes surveillance radar, electro-optical day and night, and satellite communications. The mission payload, provided by Elta, includes a day/night, all-weather target acquisition system. The Stark IRV sensor suite includes advanced ground surveillance radar, an electro-optical system and a line-of-sight or satellite communication system.

IAI said the Stark IRV enables the crew to maintain continuous tracking of multiple targets, providing rapid, flexible and effective capabilities for changing intelligence requirements.

The vehicle is designed to support law enforcement, paramilitary and border security forces engaged with security, combating drug trafficking and smuggling.

The Israeli company showcased other systems for homeland security and civil defense at the LAAD (Latin America Aero and Defense) exhibition last week. Included are a hovering aerial vehicle, providing persistence surveillance in urban areas; a new information system that supports the management of first responders in emergency situations such as fires, earthquakes or floods; and an Airborne Early Warning and Control system.

"IAI is offering Brazil and its customers in Latin America a wide range of products, backed by extensive technological knowhow and unique operational experience, all integrated and supporting the concept of know-decide-act," said Yitzhak Nissan, president and chief executive officer of IAI.
"We are already operating in Brazil, getting to know Brazil's unique needs and operational requirements and we are ready to provide the solutions Brazil needs. "We plan to expand our activities in Brazil through cooperation with local companies," he said.

TSA Chief: Fondling works, profiling's for dorks.

"I like to grab them like this."

You might remember a few weeks back I wrote about the virtues of Israeli-style airport security - multi-layered, increasing suspicion levels, and the like. The US experts who extoll Israeli security obviously know about the scalability issues (how to apply it to many larger US airports), and they still love the system. In fact, Israeli security is only a mindset, and very little infrastructure is needed. So to scale up a mindset requires only the will to do so.

The TSA hath not the will. Their desire is to grope genitals, and fondle breasts. Their desire is to get their jollies by watching and keeping x-ray pictures of nude flyers. Their desire is to nick stuff during these vulnerable moments of the security checks. Their desire is to strong-arm whistle-blowing pilots and confiscate their firearms. Their desire is to tackle a rape-victim with a pacemaker for refusing to be fondled. Their desire is to strip-search young boys.

Janet '364-days-a-year' Napolitano wants to grope you until the cows come home. That's TSA security for ya.

"Would you like me to check your prostate while I'm here?"

Here are some quotes from the article on Napolitano's visit to Israel:

US Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano came to Israel this week. Criticism has mounted against US airport security methods, especially full-body scans, as overly invasive. There have also been calls to adopt Israeli-style security methods, which are based on identifying suspicious behavior among passengers.

Napolitano said during an interview Wednesday that methods suitable for a small country like Israel would not necessarily work for the world's largest superpower.

The head of security at Ben-Gurion gave Napolitano a tour of his airport's system and a "comprehensive briefing" on Israeli airport security that "covered the spectrum from intelligence to the perimeter security of the airport to checkpoint screening and everything in between," according to a Homeland Security official.

During an interview with Fox News following a tour of Ben Gurion International Airport, Napolitano noted, there are many differences between the American and Israeli systems, one of which is the sheer size of the security apparatus. She said that what worked in Israel, a country of some 7 million citizens, would not necessarily work in a country of some 310 million.

Riiight.

Israeli aviation security is world renowned for effectiveness.
USA aviation security is best known the silly t-shirts and spoofs on late night TV.
Israeli aviation security uses a multi-layered approach that is under the auspices if a single agency.
USA aviation security is managed by seven different agencies and departments.
Israeli aviation security utilizes innovative technology to augment the highly trained security staff.
USA aviation security relies on ineffective and intrusive technology and the outcome is that poorly trained TSA personnel invades your privacy, steals your belongings, and lets loaded firearms through.

Israeli aviation security regularly uses profiling to effectively single out and remove threats.
USA aviation security is so politically correct that they would prefer to fondle, grope, and molest law abiding citizens rather than ask a someone who looks suspicious a few extra questions.

Benjamin Franklin once said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Amen, Ben.

Homeland Security Conference Day 2

On the Second day of the Homeland Security Conference I took lots of pictures at the Exhibition and talked to the vendors about their products, expertise and the Homeland Security Field. I also attended some of the lectures and sat in on panel discussions.
