Ruth, I just read your reply to me, and I understood-you disliked them quizzing the black woman with a child standing there and you didn't want a trainee learning on you. Just as an aside, I'm retired from a teaching hospital, and its the best place to get better, because they're actually doing with supervision and thats thew best way to learn anything! Sorry they didn't ask your permission first. Second, last time I flew out of Israel, at the counter next to mine, where they were going thru my bags (on KLM) there was an Moslem family, I guess from the dress of the woman. They had 2 little girls with them and security was opening what appeared to be a brand new Barbie doll, pulling its head off and rummaging thrru all their stuff. Frankly, I was humiliated for them, one of the kids was crying and there they stood. When we were all thru security, I tried to make eye contact and say I was sorry. But still, as someone on this thread noted, they were at the Ben Gurion airport, they had to know what might happen. I was pretty shocked they went thru my stuff, but not mad. Like I said, better rude then dead. Remember sticks and stones may break my bones......
