WHAT. A. FREAKING. CRYBABY.

FReepMail to be added or removed from this pro-Israel/Judaic/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

Nothing personal. Airport security humiliates everyone. It’s the American way!

"They took me aside, examined me scrupulously. It was a pretty humiliating situation," Zilberman wrote in her complaint.

Gee,I wonder if there are any scrupulous examinations being conducted at Israeli airports.We can only thank God that she lived to tell of her time in one of our "gas chambers".

[Moose Dung]

Hah!

My kids love that thing! They call it the “Puffer Machine” and I have to stand in the one line that has the Puffer Machine whenever we travel.

dung.

Welcome to America! If we were allowed to profile, you would have been waived right through. Direct your complaints to the ACLU and CAIR.

the security crew ordered me to stop in a tone as if she was talking to a retard.

Doing my worse Myron Cohen impersonation:

'She's a Doktah and she talks like this? Oy, veh.'

[GovernmentShrinker]

She can just stay home if she doesn’t like our security. And something tells me this whiny public protest will have earned her a special spot on the Israeli airport/airline security watch lists. I hear they don’t take any crap over there.

Grow up, Doctor. I’m a Jew and a retired US naval officer. I’ve been hand-patted, spread-eagled, and made to stand in an air-blast sniffer chamber when flying commercial. You sound like the whiney, hand-wringing liberals I had to resign from my synagogue to escape.

This is only the beginning. TSA plans to increase security by conducting body cavity searches of babies and 90-year-old grandmothers.

My husband’s new titanium and ceramic hip means that he gets wanded and patted and the whole kit and caboodle each time. He wondered if there were some way to get a card stating that he has a prosthesis, and should be waved through. I told him that I certainly hope not - can you imagine how easy those would be to get?

"I thought I misheard the instructions and I tried to retrace my steps, another woman from the security crew ordered me to stop in a tone as if she was talking to a retard.

1. I think the woman from the security crew WAS talking to, as the esteemed doctor so eloquently put it, "a retard."

2. Someone should teach the esteemed doctor not to call people "retards."

3. The esteemed doctor should be psychiatrically evaluated if she actually thought the puffer machine was a gas chamber, because we got rid of the on-site gas chambers in American airports at least 6 years ago..

4. Someone should tell the esteemed doctor to stop being such a freaking crybaby.

5. There should be a special line for all the people who bellyache about having to go through airport security: the line that takes them to the bus to the nearest train station/car rental agency/cruise ship port.

[Terpin]

What does “jumping the shark” mean?

[Old Professer]

Are stories like this published to cause us to cease supporting them or simply because the media know there are people dumb enough to fall for such crap?

[RansomOttawa]

airport security officials led her to what she called a sort of "gas chamber", where she was sprayed with a strong current of air for two minutes, which caused her great pain.

So air is a chemical weapon now? Oh dang.

'I have never experienced such humiliation'

Really?! She lives in a nation under siege. Has she ever spent any time in a bomb shelter? I'd think that would be more humiliating in one's own country than being scrutinized by security in an airport. I guess I'm having a hard time believing her.
