Not only does Israel’s vibrant $129-billion-per-year free market economy help keep its citizens safe, it helps keep commuters in London and New York safe, too. From ISRAEL21c.org:

One of the ways in which the people of New York, London, and the residents of other major cities are being protected is via an Israeli-developed technology which provides ’see-all’ video, audio and data surveillance from multiple locations across a mass transportation system.

Launched last month on AirTrain JFK - the 8.1-mile light rail labrynthe that connects JFK Airport to the New York City area’s mass transit setup - the Nextiva Transit System developed by Verint Systems Inc. captures unattended bags, theft, loitering and other suspicious activities on tracks, passenger platforms, cars, buses, switching facilities and equipment depots.
