I'm here to tell you, if you are feeling this way about a bunch of people in cyberspace, you're going to hate dealing with people in person who say the same thing, and sometimes not as diplomatically as us.

Hey Dov, another candidate for the Israel Do?

Yep, DO NOT INVITE!

Oh trust me I look at this forum as on the job trainnig....

With that attitude, you will fit right in with TSA. Now just lower your IQ by about 65% to follow, or rather not follow the SOP, and you will be ready to begin.

Yes, He is omiscient. He knows that you don't believe in Him. So far, He has restricted His punishments to little things like having that gorgeous blonde move in across the street from you and then having it turn out that her husband is an NFL offensive tackle.

But once you force His hand by actually telling him...

Underpressure, everyone is invited to the Tel Aviv Meet .

I am planning something for everyone. Those who are interested in Christian religious sites will be taken Nazereth. Those who want to see sites of Jewish interest will go to the Western Wall. Those who are interested in night life will be shown where Tel Aviv's best nightclubs are.

As TrixieVictoria is especially interested in seeing thorough security procedures, I will personally take her to the airport after the Meet and whisper to the Security agents that I saw her getting an unopened package from a man speaking Arabic.

Apparently, the TSA is afraid that I did not understand them the first time around.

I just received a second letter in response to what I had written. It is identical to the first -- only the date has been changed.

(No, I did not write again. Maybe the TSA-Contact Center has the same people working for it who send out hundreds of identical letters offering you Viagra for bigger and firmer breasts.)

I think I'll show up! If only I can get the European Parliment to clear up some time for me.


Just show me where the nearest all 24 hour bar is at, and I'll be very happy!


For that, I'll pay for her ticket to personally experience it! ^

Which we for evermore call, Dovster's Victoria's Secret Package!

We would love to have you there. If you can't get the European Parliament to help you, you might want to try the American Winston or the Asian Marlboro.

Actually, in my case, He would have the hottie NFL offensive tackle move in and have it turn out that his wife is a gorgeous blonde.

I am not ghee.

Ok that is frightning to me and way across the line.....as well as the replies by peetah and undercover..... Fun is fun but that is way to far....

But why go through the web? If you are in Israel, it's a local call.

I think you are confused. They are offering bigger and firmer breasts instead of Viagra.

Trixie, you might be frightened by the thought of being questioned by Israeli Security, but it would be nothing compared to what your would-be future employer did to one of your fellow teachers.

If I did tell Security in TLV that you had gotten such a package, your baggage would be carefully searched. Not only would it go through the normal scanning but it would be hand-searched as well (just like my hand luggage is searched in the States when I am unlucky enough to get an SSSS).

You would also be wanded -- just like many people are wanded by the TSA daily. Also, you would be questioned. True, this is not done in America -- but it should be. After all of that, you would be allowed to get on the plane.

Compare that to what happened to Kathryn Harrington, a 52-year-old special education teacher from Laurel, Md. She flew to Tampa and presented an unacceptable threat to the safety of aviation by carrying a book with a weighted bookmark.

In Maryland, she was allowed to board but the Tampa TSA was truly on the ball -- they not only found and confiscated the bookmark but called the police and had her charged with carrying a concealed weapon - a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by as much as a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Florida officials dropped the charge quickly but the TSA took over a month before deciding not to give her a $10,000 civil fine.

So if you think that being questioned in Tel Aviv is "frightening to me and way across the line" you might wonder about your chosen career path and what it does to innocent people.

Pickles, I did make a local phone call to Him but He said that if Punki wants my number she has to go through the website. He wasn't very clear as to why -- something about her being an ex-Marine and thus liable to use language that was unacceptable to Him.

I've gotten the special treatment in Tel Aviv several times. Let me tell you something, the questioning and the multiple searches they performed was a hell of a lot more thorough and professional than any I have ever received at from the TSA perverts at many US airports (including SAT).

After getting "the search" at Tel Aviv, not only did I feel safe, I knew my luggage was physically safe, and that my flight was safe from any hijackers.

My offer to fly you out to Israel to experience it still stands.

On a sort of off note... you know that if you do choose a career as a TSA drone, that you'll be the first line of defense at the airport. Being the first line of defense is like being the soldier at the front of the line leading a platoon into unknown territory, you will be shot and bombed first. If that prospect scares you, then might I suggest a different line of work?
