I know I've posted here before about the time my luggage was hand-searched (in Boston!) and they didn't find the big Swiss Army knife I had forgotten about in the bottom of the bag. So strangers touched my underwear and I still had an actual weapon on the plane. Good times.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

"First, it's fast — there's almost no line. That's because they're not looking for liquids, they're not looking at your shoes. They're not looking for everything they look for in North America. They just look at you," said Sela. "Even today with the heightened security in North America, they will check your items to death. But they will never look at you, at how you behave. They will never look into your eyes ... and that's how you figure out the bad guys from the good guys."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I wonder how often that Israeli procedure ends up stopping people on the autism spectrum or with other disabilities that make them behave "oddly."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Israel also has only two international airports.
