Flight plan
I have to fly through Ben Gurion International Airport next week. Oh Joy…
Quite seriously: The security checks are little more than an irritation these days – if nothing else, I find it vaguely amusing (albeit, if I am to be honest, also a little troubling) that the pre-pubescent security officials see fit to waste as much time as they do on me. One day, they may get to understand that crude ethnic profiling doesn’t work…
A friend sent me this the other day. I’m not entirely certain that it is based on the Israeli Airport Experience, but it isn’t far off…

Why 1983? Because it is one year away from 1984, I suppose…
Elsewhere: Wired Magazine, via the blog of a young woman called Lily Sussman, report that the MacBook’s hard drive is capable of withstanding gunshot damage. How do they know? Because the nice fellows in charge of the Israel’s security decided that it was a security risk and put three bullets through it. Charming…(there’s another report in The Marker)
