They’re so mad with power, they’ve invaded the UK and taken over their screening systems - OH, the humanity!

From Ma'an, the Palestinian News Agency. Hey, if you can't trust them, who can you trust?

Sheeesh, at least read your own posts. Israel is not one of the 57 US states and last I heard, it had not been annexed by the UK either.

The TSA does not operate in Israel.

apologized to a visiting professor strip-searched on her way to conference

Why? Is she special somehow?

If plumbers and truck drivers and waitresses have to be humiliated why should she be exempt?

Payback, guys.

The TSA has become the laughing stock of the world, but the international travelers also have to submit to it, and I am sure there have been a number of Israelis and Europeans who have had to go through it. This is their way of expressing themselves.

US professors are precisely the sort of people that should be scrutinized, since statistically they are far more likely to be card carrying commies and palestinian sympathisers than the population at large.

Posting Palestinian propaganda on FR! Go crawl under a rock!

"Launched in 2005, Ma'an News Agency (MNA) publishes news around the clock in Arabic and English, and is among the most browsed websites in the Palestinian territories, with over 3 million visits per month. Considered the main source of independent news from Palestine, MNA has become the first choice for online information for many Palestinians..."

About page of your Ma'am News Agency

There's obvious more to the Professor's story, or she would not have garnered the sympathy this Palestinian rag.

Many years ago (over 30 years ago) I was detained at a checkpoint in Israel and each and every thing, piece by piece, was taken out of my suitcase. They even took my hairdryer apart and returned it to me in pieces. I could never figure out why I had “set off” the need to search all my luggage. They didn’t search my person, just my suitcase.

(From her own bio @ http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/bio/bradshaw/)
There's a war going on. The Israelis understand.

Disgusting!

If she wanted to be strip searched, fondled and gawked at in an airport she would have stayed right here in the good old USSA where there are uncountable legions of rude federal emloyees ready to do the job.

This wasn’t TSA, it was the Israeli airline.

If it’s Israel doing it, then there is a REAL reason. She did something to test their system.

By the way, did they find anything under that bra?

“Heather Bradshaw is an IEET Affiliate Scholar. Ms. Bradshaw spent her early childhood in the remote hills and dusty towns and villages of Iran, Pakistan, and Libya where her father often worked to use technology to bring clean drinking water, refrigeration, employment, skills, and more sustainable livelihoods to people who had not yet experienced these benefits. Her own appreciation of the power of technology to bring positive change on an individual and social level led her to study (automotive) engineering at university back in the UK and then, after a short period working for a small British manufacturing company, to work for the UK Government’s trade promotion agency, British Trade International. Through this she also developed an interest in and links with China.”

Seems to be a case of mistaken identity. Perhaps it was the above-referenced Heather Bradshaw that Shin-Bet had in mind.

I don’t know about you, but anyone who spent his or her early childhood in places like Iran, Pakistan, and Libya — and was involved professionally in technology — would definitely set off alarm bells in my security apparatus, especially if each of those countries declared its own hostility toward me, including wanting to “wipe me off the map”!

From their website:

MNA was launched with generous funding from the Danish Representative Office to the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Netherlands Representative Office to the PA,...

The Palestinian news agency?

They seem to have a lot of anti-Israeli stories.
