The Israelis must've gotten training from our TSA - No intended as joke.

Lynsey has been through a lot this year = and she's one dedicated, talented photographer. She has embedded with our soldiers in the most dangerous areas of Afghanistan and recorded unforgettable footage in the middle of some the most deadly battles.

She was captured and unheard of for an extended time in the illegal was in Libya - a big sigh of rlief when she was released.

Now she has to worry about her unborn child.

We're becoming a world of barbarians - but punish only the innocent...

She doesn't "have to worry about her unborn child," she was spared the Xray, like she asked. By your own account she has been through far worse, yet you agonize over the fate this elitist reporterette shares with ordinary American women in airports all over the country.

Too much time on hands, not enough to do...?

Could it be that Israel has watched the NY Times giving comfort and aid to America’s and Israel’s enemies for so long that they now suspect that the NY Times may try to sneak terrorists through? Just a thought...

Spare me your croccodile tears. Those people are the New York Slimes.

Ann Coulter would not name present day traitors among the Liberals because she was afraid of the suicides; however, she made an exception to that with The New York Times and Pinch Sulzberger.

Israel should apologize... to its own soldiers for having to even deal with this entity.

Oh, pity the poor award-winning NYT photographer.

So now she has to worry about her unborn child?

Seems she’s a good deal more worried about her precious career.

No kidding. It’s not like the peace-loving Palestinians would ever stoop to disguising a suicide bomber as a pregnant woman.

Sometimes I think everyone connected with the NYTimes should be strip searched.

What nitwit would run around Gaza carrying an unborn child she was concerned about?
Just asking.

FRom the posts on this thread, I had to check and see if I had somehow posted it in a DU site - the unchristian nastiness is so prominent. Indeed - 100% so far. I wonder which is worse - being a free lance photographer who accepts work assignment from different publishers - she has had a lot of work, including covers, with the National Geographic (Oh NO! now what does THAT make her!!! What should be done? Ten lashes at dawn? Heaven forbid) - so which is worse - the free lance war corespondent of the holier than thou, unchristian judgmental opiners?

On second thought, I don't wonder. But being in FR, I am greatly disappointed.

Y'all have fun in here, now, spilling your bile.

I'm not playing. As my grampa would say "Don't p - ah, spit into the wind."

“... concern for her unborn child.”

What would “The New York Times Manual of Style & Usage” have to say about that turn of phrase? Can there be unborn children; or, aren't they all just foetuses, or tissue?

Keep in mind the pressure the IDF soldiers go through on a daily basis trying to deal with the Gaza Muzzies on the inside and the Leftist Israelis on the outside of the border. They do what they have to do regardless of who you are. Press photographers don’t get treated any differently.

Non-arab journalists, photographers and supposedly pregnant women have previously carried explosive devices under their clothing when crossing the Israel/Gaza border.

Here is a realistic interpretation of what really happened: http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com/2011/11/why-lynsey-addario-had-that-invasive.html

What is a pregnant photographer doing crossing a checkpoint near Gaza? She is exposing her "unborn child" to greater danger than any X-ray could ever pose. She knew she would be X-rayed and screened and had her protest prepared.

This has all the makings of a publicity stunt.

Unless she has body guards tagging along with her she is completely insane to go into Gaza alone because it is a den of wolves. We’ve already seen what happens to female, Western journos in Egypt. Gaza is just like that and in many ways even worse.

If she is so worried about her baby why is she going into a place like that????

Which is worse? Getting x-rayed 3 times or being gang raped by a bunch of Muzzies and possibly murdered? Put THAT into perspective!

She and the NY Slimes can cry like a bunch of cry babies but do you see them talking about the reality of what it is truly like to live in that third world, Muzzie hellhole? You will never, ever see them show the Gaza Muzzies to be the blood-lusting wolves that they truly are and how they treat each other much less infidels, Jewish and non-Jewish.

Get her out of that part of the world-—women should not try to ‘prove’ that they can do anything a man could do—especially since she is pregnant, her responsibility is to her unborn baby——sick of this crap feelong sorry for women who don’t have common sense when carrying a baby and some nitwits cry the blues for sympathy to be extended for them
