A followup of sorts to the last TSA post. Bonus Footage in this clip: Keith Olbermann uttering the phrase "If you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested" and Taiwanese Next Media's bombastic take on the whole controversy.

That was an interesting rant by Mr. Yeffet - and this is certainly a rant-worthy topic - but I'd have liked more information on what El Al actually does.

since El Al's security measures are so well-known, wouldn't it be easy to gain the system? when i'm asked all those questions, i just get annoyed. i don't know how the security person would read my annoyance.

I've been through el al security several times. Its definitely different. For the first part, I didn't even realize I was being interviewed. I was just having a conversation with a security agent!

Same! I just remember they kept asking me what I could say in Hebrew. I mostly know offensive things (thanks, Israeli scouts at camp!), so I was so fidgety and embarrassed.
