Small price to pay for eviscerating the 4th Amendment.

This was before suicide bombers and I was escorted onto flight. I never was run through a metal detector.
When I got to Tel Aviv, my friend said a couple of men had come to his home and inquired whether I was indeed coming to visit. He was ex IDFand there was no problem.

“I had reached Mossad level ” LOLOL!
Just look at them, indegents jobs
