its just the Palestinians at the check posts..though there was as "incident" with a settler being stopped...so clearly things are changing.

it reminds me of many years ago, when before the busses were being blown up, the Palestinians were stopped on information only, i.e. those that were being looked for, the others just had an ID/pass check and continued on their way.

i'm assuming that is now happening with the settlers, but i have no real info, just what i read i the papers.

we do ethnic profiling here, its considered a more efficient use of resources and its very discriminotry 5 year olds and grand moms in wheel chairs don't get "felt up".....and the difference between the security personal is stark-

israeli security personal at the airport are not "minimum wage" earners, but highly trained and picked, vs what i've seen at the US airports
