How does Israel's approach to public security differ from that of the USA and Western Europe? What can we learn? Today, we explore public security, terrorism, body language, mindset and more.

My guest is Eldor Arbel. Eldor is the CEO of Arbel Consulting and Training. He brings a unique perspective to security – "security from the inside out". This isn't surprising considering Eldor is an Israeli national living in London, spend four years in the Israeli Defence Forces and has worked for many years in the private security industry in the country. Israel of course, has had to deal with terrorism for decades.

I was interested in Eldor's take on how countries like the UK and USA deal with terrorism and security. We get into this (and if you follow the podcast you know I thinke that we overestimate the chances of a terror attack). However, this is a conversation about much more than this we get into:

• Eldor's time in the Israeli Defence Forces;
• The private security sector in Israel;
• Terrorism and other types of security threats;
• Eldor's security philosophy, including:
  • Mindset;
  • Normalcy bias;
  • Behaviour detection;
  • Body language;
• Security versus freedom;
• The training AC&T offers, including the very interesting "Confined Spaces Training"
• Loads more!
