The story about how the state of Pennsylvania has employed an Israeli “security” company to check out various subversive groups, to include greens, Catholics, and teabaggers has predictably died without leaving a trace in spite of the valiant efforts of bloggers like Tom Meehan, https://odysseusontherocks.blogspot.com/2010/09/pennsylvanians-palistinians-what-s.html. 

But the bigger question is to what extent has the security infrastructure of the United States been outsourced.  To be sure, most of the outsourcing has gone to Israeli companies that have been able to exploit their alleged expertise on security issues.  They have also benefitted from Congress’ grant of preferential status to Israelis when bidding on US government contracts, meaning that they often are able to undercut US companies because they have few R&D expenses, having either stolen the technology from US competitors or having received subsidies from the Israeli government to enhance their competitiveness.  Israeli companies now dominate in the areas of transportation and telecommunications security, both of which are critical national infrastructures that should be restricted only to American companies employing American citizens.  One recalls that at the time of the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinski scandal there were reports that the NSA had determined that a foreign nation had been listening in to White House phone calls.  That foreign nation was Israel, able to do so because several Israeli companies had the contracts to provide various services relating to telephone monitoring.  The Israeli companies involved are still active, having changed their names and shifted their business locations to the US, but their ownership and management continues to be Israeli. 

Israeli owned airline security companies are also in the game, acting frequently as the local Mossad station.  The companies have a number of times been caught isolating and then interrogating passengers who were apparently of interest to Israeli intelligence, but they continue to benefit from large contracts in both Europe and the United States to provided security services.
