If you mean the comments of FReepers not aware of the nature of your "news" source (Palestinian Propaganda) you will not get off that easy.
I read the website of your source(Ma'an New Agency) and I called you out on it. Deal with it!
So?
If you have the same name as a suspicious person, you should be strip-searched like one.
Haaretz.com is not Palestinian.
If you want to see an earlier story on it, see http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/american-professor-invited-to-israel-humiliated-by-el-al-security-personnel-1.322099
El Al only conducts thorough searches of people who rouse their suspicion. ..which is very few people, percentage-wise. Unlike the TSA, they profile passengers -- psycholigcally, religiously, ideologically, ethnically, etc. Evidently this leftist prof (who spent her childhood all over the Muslim Middle East) somehow triggered their suspicion. Sure they make a mistake from time to time, but that's the nature of the war.
Your attention span ran out before #6, eh?

Yeah, you never know when someone studying methods of preventing miscarriages might use that for evil.
Evidently you didn't read her bio in post #25 on this thread. (First paragraph). Or perhaps you did are are taking issue with my saying "middle east" when speaking of Iran, Libya, and Pakistan. If so, fine -- Iran's in the Middle East, Libya is in Arab No. Africa. ...and Pakistan is in So. Asia. Point is, they're all Muslim countries hostile to Israel.

No, Peabrain.
You have no clue how this all works, do you? People with intelligence make quick judgments about hundreds of people each within 20 or 30 seconds. Anyone can forge entry stamps if they want to. They ask you if you've been to Israel before. They ask you when. Maybe they look at the stamps. I don't know. They probably ask why you came before and why you're coming now; or what you did if you are leaving. I don't know, because for me the whole thing has usually taken about the same amount of time as it does to be admitted to the screening area here.
Should it ever happen that I am stopped coming or going in Israel, I'll understand because I trust that they are not doing what they do for show. This is not the case here in the United States where the entire thing is a colossal charade.

"There's obvious more to the Professor's story, or she would not have garnered the sympathy {of} this Palestinian rag."
This would be true whatever Haaratz also chose to publish. Useful idiots are found in all societies.
I assume you'll extend the same courtesy to the TSA officers who face far more passengers?
I'm not dissing the El Al security...I'm just suggesting that there's a lot of hypocrisy being shown by many these days.
I posted the Ma'an version rather than another because it didn't mention El Al in the headline, and I wanted people to have the opportunity to stop and ask themselves if their initial reaction was different before reading it was El Al.
Frankly, I wonder if this is a case of mistaken identity, or, IIANM, Dr. Bradshaw's husband has made pro-liberty comments online in the past, and that might be flagged, too.
This wasn’t TSA, it was the Israeli airline.
Well, then, you are at odds with El Al.
Is that the best you can do? Why don't you just slink away and pretend you never made a comment on this thread?

Yes, the scanners are not even powered...there is no "back room viewing screen"...
And they sure aren't checking for contraband when they do a pat-down.
And you're sane.
</sarc>
It's an honorable thing to do, but it angers people the most. Most people expect you just to take sides...
