Former Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala was detained and interrogated for two hours at Ben-Gurion Airport last month, according to The Chronicle for Higher Education’s blog The Ticker.

BODY CAVITY SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!
They can keep her.
Uggh! Pity who had to check its underwear.
"When Shalala arrived at the airport, she was not recognized as a VIP and was even afforded what she claims to be 'special' treatment because of her Arab last name. She claims she was held for two-and-a-half hours during which she was asked invasive and humiliating personal questions."
Let’s see if this story is accurate or not. Doesn’t sound right. A possible plant to embarrass Israel?
Hey, Shalala has more class than Sebelius (and more than Napolitano who has none). That puts her up a little bit in my ranking of ex-Clinton officials.
This website WAFA is the official propaganda arm of the Palestinian Authority and is not to be trusted on a good day.
Lots of cut and paste information in their item, and lots of contradictory statements.
IF she said this, and that's a big if, than she's ok with me.
“A possible plant to embarrass Israel?”
Why would this embarrass Israel?
Drudge has it on his site also I see.
Could it be another underware bomber??????
I don’t see how this could embarrass Israel.
And I suppose the Israelis are going to send her home. Take it easy, friends. Slow down. Give her a good cell at IPS and take your time processing her. Don’t be in such a hurry to send her back. Are you really sure she didn’t sneak in drugs or brings guns to Hamas? Is there anyway you can hold her just being a worthless human being? Please use your creativity. Surely there’s SOME reason to keep her in prison.
Didn’t they find explosives between her ears?
Why would this embarrass Israel?
The Palestinian propaganda machine, and that of much of the Arab world (which I see on a regular basis), always love to take any incident, real or imaged, and use it as a hammer against Israel, Zionists, matzohballs, etc.
Some of the stuff in Egyptian newspapers is on par with Dur Sturmer and Pravda at their prime.
I hope that our level of awareness and intelligence is way above the hate-monger media of the Middle East.
“The Palestinian propaganda machine, and that of much of the Arab world (which I see on a regular basis)”
Nobody gives a crap what they (the rag heads) think except themselves. The fact is that Israel does an excellent job with security. We should do as well here.
B/c the arab lovers are going to jump all over it to “prove” Israel is a “racist” country. I’d like to see any of those ppl get in an Arab country as non-muslims.
Too bad she was there to speak against the socialist/muslim campaign to de-legitimize israel.
FYI for those who’ve never been to Israel.
Israel airport security is unbelievable but mostly more difficult on leaving vs arriving.
Cop an attitude, even in the slightest and expect a 2hr interogation or even get your visa revoked.
I had a letter from the CEO of the company I was working for and still got 45min of questions.
A fantastic 3 months!
