And where, in it, do you find any hint of violent retaliation? If I were to do such a thing (which, of course, would require you coming to the Tel Aviv Meet), it would result in exactly what I said -- a thorough security check.

Unlike what we have to go through everytime we pass through TSA checks, it would be handled intelligently. You would, as I said, have your luggage checked by both machine and by hand (which happens to me in the States quite often) and you would be asked enough questions to satisfy Security that you do not present a threat.

You would not be picked out of line at random and be groped. If you did have something seen as dangerous -- perhaps a small knife -- you would be allowed to mail it home. You would not be subject to a fine.

If you had a weighted bookmark with you, you would be allowed to keep it -- and certainly the police would never be called in because of it.

You would, indeed, learn what thorough security is -- and it is not the expensive joke that the TSA keeps playing on us.
