I think that particular article is kinda weird and somewhat misleading, though there is something to learn from the things it talks about. It partly misses the point of how Israel does security, and partly gets it right, but it mixes the two up in a way that makes it all unclear to anyone who doesn't already know. It also omits a lot of significant things. I say all this despite the fact that I agree with the general idea motivating the spreading of that link.
Note, BTW, that I'm Israeli and have flown El Al several times to/from Tel Aviv. And I definitely think they approach security in a much more effective manner, though not quite in the way this article describes (though it's certainly not all wrong).
